Title: An excellent starter book to master a superior vocabulary.
Review: This hard-to-get paperback book was first published in 1981, but it is still an excellent "starter" book if you have never tried to learn a lot of word meanings for a superior vocabulary before on your own. You will learn basic vocabulary and remember key words because of Peter Funk's clever memory tricks. After you have finished this book, other books such as the venerable dean of all vocabulary paperback books: "30 Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary" by Dr. Wilfred S. Funk and Norman Lewis and the effective reinforcement of "Word Power Made Easy" by Norman Lewis will be much easier for you. Highly recommended by John Thor Newlander, teacher of communication arts and English in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. - 3/5/99
