Revue de presse

'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.' Tuttitalia
