Reviews'The layout and presentation of Using Italian Synonyms is clear and uncluttered, making it an easily accessible text … this is possibly the most comprehensive volume of its kind. Its value lies not only in the fact that it provides far more information than will normally be found in a dictionary but also it is more useful to English-speaking students than existing collections of Italian synonyms … The concept of the volume is original, and it fills a long-yawning gap in the market of Italian language reference texts.'
