The Well-Spoken Thesaurus: Click on the book cover below to zoom in on "To Speak with an Ivy League Tongue."

"We may be familiar with a familiar thesaurus, most prominently Roget's International Thesaurus. Tom Heehler has, however, created and brought to life a thesaurus for spoken English. One word came to me after I had made my first visit to its 392 pages: Wow!"

"The Well-Spoken Thesaurus is a fascinating and provocative resource for lecturers or speakers of the English language of all sizes, ages, and social classes."

"I vow never to lend or sell the copy that came to me a few days ago. It is simply too convenient, too daring, too lively, invaluable. One wonders, 'Why didn't someone think of such a resource as this a long time ago?'"

Raymond J. Rundus, Professor Emeritus of English at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
