Product Description
The perfect companion to The Large Print American Heritage Dictionary,
The Large Print Roget's II Thesaurus, Revised Edition, carries the seal of
approval of the National Association for Visually Handicapped. This easy-to-read thesaurus will help anyone searching for just the right word. It contains 6,500 synonyms and antonyms, grouped into paragraphs. Each paragraph explains the differences between synonyms and shows words in context. Special features include a list of collective nouns (such as flock), and a list of "collateral adjectives" (such as ursine) next to the noun they correspond to (such as bear). There is also a handy section defining prefixes and suffixes.

Excellent Thesaurus for Visually Impaired Students February 28, 2001
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I purchased this book for my daughter, who has Retinitus Pigmentosa (a degenerative retinal disorder). She cannot read the small typeface that most dictionaries and thesauruses use. She is able to read this one without magnifying equipment.
The typeface is clean and easily readable. Keywords are printed in bold and are easy for her to browse through. The example sentences are in italics, so she has some trouble reading them at times.
Good Points
-----------
+ Relatively inexpensive
+ Classic and sturdy Red leather-like hardcover binding with color jacket
+ Bright white paper stock provides good contrast so the visually impaired read comfortably
+ "Bonus" listing of adjectives, nouns, sciences, etc. in the back of the book
+ Well suited for an elementary or middle school vocabulary.
Bad Points
----------
- Will not contain some words that an advanced high school student would encounter.
Large Print Roget's II Thesaurus December 12, 2000

Great book for elementary school kids who need a Theasurus and have a hard time reading the standard very small print Thesauruses. Easy to find the desired word. Because of the large print size, it is not as exhaustive (3500 entries) compared to other standard Thesauruses.
Review on Large Print Thesaurus May 9, 2007
This was a gift, and although the person really liked the book and is what he wanted, I was a little disappointed that the hard cover on the book was bent.
