The Oxford College Thesaurus is geared particularly towards people who are studying, who want a comprehensive thesaurus, but also value practicality, portability, and a mid-range price point. It has more alternative words - 300,000 - than its competitors, along with a range of other benefits. It provides more help on how to use the different words through practical example phrases, quicker access to the likely options, with the alternatives most closely linked to the meaning of the headword listed first, and an excellent in-text cross-referencing system to take you to other useful entries.
