Overview
"Move over, Webster, Oxford, and Roget - make room on the bookshelf for Reed." - Glennys Christie, newspaper editor & publisher
Houses are "raised" by fire. Actors show real "flare." Witnesses wait with "baited" breath. Spell check approves every one of these errors - and your readers notice every one of them.
Reed's Homophones is the comprehensive A-to-Z guide to English's sound-alike words: thousands of homophones, near-homophones, frequent misspellings, and commonly misused word pairs, each with quick, clear definitions. Born from a veteran editor's campaign against the errors that slip past software, it has become the desk reference that writing professionals reach for daily.
Now in its expanded 4th edition (152 pages), it serves as both an at-a-glance lookup tool and - as Midwest Book Review puts it - "a word nerd's browsing delight."
Perfect for: writers and authors, editors and proofreaders, students from high school through college, teachers, ESL learners, journalists, and business professionals.
"The handiest quick reference on the subject... I can't imagine anyone anywhere in the world who would not welcome this." - David Madden, Pulitzer Prize nominee
Add Reed's Homophones to your reference shelf - right between your dictionary and your thesaurus.
