Best Thesaurus?
A friend asked for a thesaurus for Christmas and I want to get her the very best one I can. Any suggestions?
(Yes, I know this isn't a travel-related question, but Fodorites can be so knowledgable and helpful. And I'm going to TRAVEL to a bookstore to buy it, so there.)

Roget's International (in hard cover) is the best one. It used to be published by Crowell, but the company my have changed hands.

Actually I have a Roget's hardcover sitting here next to me and it disappoints me at times.
It's certainly a good thesaurus, but I've run across thesauri with better depth at Barnes and Noble. I can't recall specific publishers, though...sorry.
BUT: if it's for college or everyday use, Roget's will do just fine.
