A Dictionary of 3,800 Picturesque Idiomatic Expressions

There are books on antonyms, synonyms, and rhyming words, but this is the first paperback work on metaphors, the idiomatic words and phrases used to create images for the purposes of comparison, clarification, or whimsy. Contains three separate, self-contained listings: a dictionary, a thematic section, and a thesaurus. Includes suggestions for ad copy, public addresses, games, and crossword puzzles.
