 Merriam Webster's Everyday Language Reference Set . . .Jun 16, 2000
Every home needs to be equiped with certain items. A dictionary and thesaurus are two of those items. When looking to purchase these items I went with a name I trusted, Merriam Webster. I decided to purchase the complete set because I found it interesting that it included a vocabulary builder. My family and I choice a word a day from the informative books and use it as much as possible. We enjoy picking a word from the vocab builder, then looking it up in the dictionary. We use the thesaurus to find similar words, and words that mean the complete opposite. The choices are endless. I have yet heard a word that can not be found in one of the three books. Unlike most thesaurus' this version has almost every word. It was surprising, because often with thesaurus' the choices are limited. This is one problem that I have yet to run into. I plan to purchase a few copies for family members and friends that are graduating in this year. My fiance even mentioned that we need our own set when we get married.

A Must Have SetNov 12, 2001
By G. Jordan
"ginazone"
I had a set similar to this years ago, which became dog-eared & yellowed with constant use. I replaced them with this 3-book set & the Vocabulary Builder is the best part of this set. My husband & I both love learning new words, so we'll often sit & quiz each other from this new set of books. I also use them as quick references in my writing and business ventures. The dictionary is great as an alternative to the official scrabble dictionary (when we get tired of the seemingly made up words that can't be found in any other dictionary). Maybe I'm just strange--I did read dictionaries & thesauruses for fun as a child & teen.
This set is an excellent value for the money & will be referred to & used again & again. No home or office should be without this reference set.

 The Reference Set that Wasn'tSep 14, 2010
By Tom Dolan
"1luckycat"
This is the simplest Review I've written for an amazon order. The Reference set is junk: poor quality paper, font barely larger than an average garden variety ant, printed so lightly I suspect you'll squint in the brightest light. Save your time and money. I'm lookin' at the Oxford combo-book which sells for less, printed on bright white paper in a large font using adequate ink enabling the text to stand out from the page.
As usual, delivery by amazon was terrific, now we'll see how they handle the return of the 'set' which I believe is the 1st time I've ever returned to them. I'm a committed amazon client/supporter and this has nothing to do with amazon and everything to do with Merriam-Webster.

 Great Set of books!Jan 11, 2007
By Winter Lilly
"JEANNIE"
I bought this set of books to help me write my own books. They are a great tool that I use almost everyday. These books are a great help in using different words to describe nouns, and to spice up a sentence. The vocabulary builder is great. It has groups of words that are similar in meaning or root words. It has learning quizes after every section. It is very helpful. I am very proud of my increased vocabulary thanks to this. It is a worthy purchase, I am glad that I bought this collection of books. They are easy to use, and are small enough to fit on a bookshelf with ease. The print is small so crack out your glasses if you need them. Other than that I have no issues with these books.

VOCABULARY DELIGHTJan 26, 2009
By William Coleman
Like other reviewers, I have found this set to be a superb resource for freshman composition, providing just the right addition to usual first year textbooks. The thesaurus is helpful to the students in locating appropriate words while completing essays, and the dictionary is, of course, authoritative, being published from Merriam-Webster, although it often lacks complete etymology of words, which is a minor defect.
The core of the set is the Vocabulary Builder paperback, which is spendid. The units are easily read and have full explanations of selected words, including those derived from historical or mythological allusions. Although my full curriculum does not allow me to take up all 24 chapters, I always encourage my students to establish a bi-weekly study routine following our course, so that they can read the entire text themselves within a year of our class. I would heartily recommend this reasonably priced set to any teacher, professor, or individual learner.
