Reviews
"In this unconventional, easy-to-use thesaurus, Heehler, a degree student at the Harvard Extension School, invites the reader to speak like an academic without sounding like one." - Book News
"The Well-Spoken Thesaurus is a delightful book for anyone interested in language and the spoken word." - Midge Raymond, Award-winning author of Forgetting English
"How absolutely fascinating." - The Fayetteville Observer
"Winston Churchill, in the words of one of his contemporaries, 'mobilized the English language and sent it into battle.' Like many of the great orators and writers of our time, the prime minister knew the words he used and how he used them were at least as important as the ideas he needed to get across...In 2006, the same idea occurred to an American truck driver." - The Winnipeg Free Press
"A celebration of the spoken word." - Chicago Tribune
"This is your guide to eloquence - replacing ordinary words with extraordinary ones that take your writing to new heights. " - Gotham Writer's Workshop
