Does anyone really use a print thesaurus anymore? To be honest I do not have one at the present time for it fell apart long ago, and these books if you want a good one are kind of expensive for me right now. For me this is a very helpful book for many reasons for one I would use one for more tautograms for I am mainly using my memory, and I seem to be repeating a lot of words over and over even if I think they are used in a different way. I could use a new one.

Give me an book in my hand any day
It's interesting to reflect on the changing landscape of language tools. While digital thesauruses are convenient, there's something special about flipping through the pages of a physical thesaurus. It can spark creativity and lead to unexpected word discoveries. I understand the value of a good thesaurus, especially for writers who want to enhance their vocabulary and avoid repetition. Perhaps exploring online thesaurus tools or language learning apps could be a cost-effective alternative.
More years ago than I can remember, I had a supervisor who was aware of my love of writing. (it was weird how he introduced me to his wife as the daughter he wanted but never had) One year, for Christmas, he and his wife gifted me with a J. I. Rodale Thesaurus. I still have it and use it frequently. Every time I open it's cover, I think "Thank you, Fred and Jean".
It's a good skill to keep fresh. We get too use to having words and ideas at our finger tips.
That's true, many people don't own it nowadays. Yet it is such a nice thing, and holding an actual book in your hands is way more pleasant than a smartphone in my opinion.
