THE PENGUIN DICTIONARY OF PROVERBS - Rosalind Fergusson
"'Many hands make light work', but 'Too many cooks spoil the broth' - proverbs can be engagingly contradictory! They can also be witty, provocative, and even inspiring. Ranging from the ancient wisdom of 'Familiarity breeds contempt' to contemporary barbs such as 'Those who can, do; those who can't, teach' (which itself has recently spawned 'and those who can't teach lecture in colleges of educa-tion), The Penguin Dictionary of Proverbs contains approximately 4000 different entries, all organized under over 200 thematic headings such as Beauty, Love, Foolishness, Temptation or Hypocrisy, and within each category the material is arranged under further headings to express various aspects of that theme. Where appropriate, cross-references are given to other relevant categories (for instance, Eating is cross-referenced to Gluttony and Hunger), and all the categories are in alphabetical order. There is also a 61-page index of keywords, making it a simple matter to find any particular proverb from whatever angle it is approached. Wherever possible the literary origins are given and, if the proverb is ambiguous or obscure, an explanation is also provided.
The Penguin Dictionary of Proverbs is thus not only a handy and comprehensive volume to have on your reference shelf, but delightfully easy to use, and a joy to browse through at leisure."

THE CONCISE THESAURUS
"POCKET REFERENCE LIBRARY
This book is essentially an alphabetical list of nearly 8,000 words, which gives several similar words for each entry and, where relevant, words which mean the opposite of the original word.
Used in conjunction with a dictionary, this thesaurus can be a valuable aid to writers, students, crossword enthusiasts, and many others.
It can also assist in expanding your vocabulary, and will be particularly useful to those interested in public speaking and speech-writing."

This new and completely reset edition embodies the most comprehensive revision given to the Dictionary since its first publication in 1917 and incorporates a new vowel notation. The Dictionary now contains over 59,000 words in international phonetic transcription, together with many thousands of inflected forms. Professor Gimson has included a totally new introduction in which the system of phonetic transcription used in the Dictionary is fully explained and the pronunciation given is now entirely that in common usage in the last quarter of the 20th century."
