    • Wonderful dictionary- BUT weak binding! Pages will fall out with heavy use!!
Format: Mass Market Paperback

Fabulous rhyming dictionary- GREAT for songwriters, poets, etc. This was a required reading to go in tandem with a Berklee music course on song writing. For HEAVY USERS: The paperback binding is poor and pages WILL BECOME UNGLUED. I spiral bound this book at a third party store, and there is NOT enough margin for spiral binding (shown in photos). I will re-order the school/library binding version to see if it's any better. do NOT get your copy spiral bound if you want to lose words!! Please make a spiral bound version of this wonderful dictionary!!! ... show more

    • Why this dictionary? And 1943 Edition Vs Modern Edition
Format: Mass Market Paperback
As of this writing, (2016), this dictionary is recommended for songwriters by instructor Pat Pattison over others, including online dictionaries, as it: divides rhymes into Masculine, Feminine,and three-syllable rhymnes, is organized phonetically by vowel sound, and it italicizes archaic words. 1943 Edition Vs Modern Edition breakdown There has been controversy going back years on this board about which edition you should get of this book, the modern one or the 1943 edition. I've bought both of them because of the controversy and I'll lay out the differences 1) the 1943 separates out eat rhyme by groups so that under A (as in bay) you have: vowel: eye, cou-tru-ri-er etc... b: bay, etc... br: bray, etc.. ... the new edition lays them out altogether listed like so affray agley airway .... The old edition makes it easier to separate identities - words that are not true rhymes because the last syllable in both begins with the same consonant. Each page actually warns to only pick one from each group. How big of a matter this is is a personal choice, but I like the old way. Also the new edition prints one word per line as above (in four columns) whereas the old edition as above lists several words per line in two columns. So I believe the older edition has fewer words per page despite the smaller size of my hardback editions. Also, the older edition breaks words by syllables with accents. Very important. 2) The old edition obviously doesn't have newer words in it. 3) The old edition has a course in verification in the back that 90 pages long and is very good. 4) As from that, the text of the old and new editions cover roughly the same material, re-written in the new edition. So I think the old edition is definitely preferable to me though the new one is very useful if you don't want to spend the money to the older one. ... show more

    • The complete rhyming dictionary
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I must say that this book was purchased for my son how is 15 years old and he was asking for it so he can wright his lyrics for his songs. He loves it and is using it all the time and the size of it is good as he often has it in his bag. The only thing with this book I thought was that the cover not very sturdy so we put some extra cover on it to protectThe Complete Rhyming Dictionary: Including The Poet's Craft Book. We first had a look at Borders here in Australian and found out that this book was very expensive, so we checked on Amazon when we got home and the book was half price including shipping. We use Amazon more and more as your service if both good and the prices are always competitive. Thank you Amazon for enriching are lives ... show more

    • Looks Great
Format: Mass Market Paperback
This looks amazing, it is a gift for a friend who writes poetry. Just be careful when slitting open or cutting the package open since I inadvertently cut the cover of this book so it won’t be a very nice looking gift.

    • More of a high level classroom education book
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I was expecting a dictionary or Thesaurus type of book of word comparisons I could use to help write music. What you get in this book is a highly educated description of how to create rhyme words. Not what I was looking for but probably perfect for the pure at heart who know, or want to know poetry.
