This is another kind of dictionary. When I need another word for red I don't go anymore to my synonyms dictionary if what I need is to describe the color in something in my stories. This dictionary helps me with my writing in a way no normal dictionary can.

Those of us that are not good looking for descriptive words in our minds when we are in the creative process (or editing one).

It's division in two sections one pretty detailed with definitions for each descriptive word or the faster one with complete lists of terms. Even prepositions I never thought in my life!

It is an effective tool when you're editing. You can write the words you usually will and while editing look for a better one. It is one of the best books I've bought to the date.
