Editorial Review:
The Oxford Mini Dictionary, Thesaurus, and Wordpower Guide provides three mini books in one handy and affordable format. Offering wide coverage of today's English, the dictionary contains over 40,000 words, phrases, and definitions, while the thesaurus has more than 75,000 alternative words. A brand-new page design provides matching dictionary and thesaurus entries--dictionary entries are located on the top of the page and matching thesaurus entries can be found at the bottom. Clearly indicated in-text usage notes give straight-forward guidance on the spelling and usage of tricky or easily confusable words. The Wordpower Guide offers extra help with vocabulary, as well as sections that will help readers to use the English language more effectively.
Affordable and easy to use, The Oxford Mini Dictionary, Thesaurus, and Wordpower Guide is perfect for anyone who wants a portable quick-reference book.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Get the previous version, which was much better!
This book is a real disappointment because it loses the benefit of the previous version (ISBN 0-19-860183-2, 1997) which had the very unique and useful 'one-stop entries' system where the dictionary and the thesaurus are described in the same entry. They are separated again in this new version which is very cumbersome to use much the same as usual dictionaries. I can hardly understand why the author has changed it this way.
