This is the highly respected Roget's International Thesaurus, Fifth Edition (1992), edited by Robert L. Chapman, a core reference for writers prized for its original conceptual, category-based organization. The book is the sturdy hardcover edition and presents in Very Good condition overall. While the binding remains tight and the volume is quite handsome, the original dust jacket ("sleeve") shows minor wear consistent with age, specifically some curling or creasing at the top corners and a small tear or rip in that area, but remains fully intact. This copy is an excellent find for anyone seeking a classic, comprehensive thesaurus. Vintage preowned book. 1141 pages. Heavy book that measures around 9-5/8" by 7-1/2" by 2".
