New Oxford Rhyming Dictionary 2/e

I does just what it promises, For all you doubting thomases. The rhymes it gives are rich and varied, It's easy to use and never scarey, So what the heck're you waiting for? A good review in Semaphore?

This is the best reference work for Rhyming poetry that I've come across. It's brilliantly arranged, and I have found it tremendously useful, after getting to know its planned layout. Excellent all round!

Very good one I worked out how to use it! User error!!

I love it because I use it a lot I find the binding comes unstuck I think I have bought it at least three times although this one is a new format

Perfect for a Creative Writing course, absolutely invaluable. Other class members very jealous they do not have a copy themselves. Easy to use, and even educational, too!! The book was, I think, advertised as being in good condition. In fact it was in excellent condition. Thanks. Arrived in good time too. Thanks again. Sue

Great dictionary. We used it a few times and it’s proved useful. Didn’t have another similar one to compare but this does the job for kids work at school.

I found the long introduction useful, with its explanations of types of poetry, and scansions. The reference section is in two parts: a short list, at the back, like a thesaurus, indicating where you will find each word; and a detailed section, laying out all the words that rhyme. It only has use for rhyming poetry; but that is not really a criticism; if you want to write blank verse, it won't help. Overall, though, I found it a fairly helpful book.

This book is easy to use and a real asset when you need to find a word that rhymes

This is the best rhyming dictionary that I have found. It has words that aren't in my excellent Oxford standard dictionary. Sometimes you have to be creative, though, because not every variation of every word is represented. I used to use it as an adjunct tool, but now I rely on it as a substitute for the word recall of my memory. Indespensible!

It was a great experience searching words from dictionary. But it was tore from a part. It's easy to carry. Recommend poet to buy.

I was confused between Penguin Rhyming Dictionary And New Oxford Rhyming Dictionary .(Note-This is second edition of new Oxford ) Both are good and kind of similar also. Pros- * *next best to Penguin *best if u want cheap and Quick reference dictionary. Very nice for kids who like poetry writing Cons- *penguin one contains words meanings too for most unknown words according to the writer which saves time but in Oxford you need a separate dictionary anyway. Paper quality is fair not yellow but They are not thick enough They are smooth but even wet hands can Ruin the page so u have to be careful while using it. *book is handy but can not be used as "rough-tough" *paper quality is main deference between "hard-cover" and paper-back that raise price , though it's only available in paperback so use it wisely *both are best seller in UK and quality of paper used in both Oxford one and penguin are not same. I own both so I'll recommend penguin ..thanks :)

i'm not one to rifle thru a rhyming dictionary nor thesaurus without first giving the spirit a good running start -- but this one is a real find -- unobtrusive, quick and easy reference tool. truly useful introduction by the astonishing john lennard, who is, as world authorities go, a pretty nice fellow.

Interesting approach to rhyming words. A bit tricky to use until you get used to it.
