Synopsis
Even good writers sometimes find the right word elusive. Or is it illusive? The correct usage for more than 2,000 words that people commonly misuse is provided in this concise and accessible handbook that assures, insures, and ensures that anyone who wants to communicate accurately and effectively chooses the right word every time. Arranged alphabetically in pairs (or threes when appropriate), entries are carefully explained with a sentence that illustrates correct usage and cross-referenced to ensure that readers find, for example, "boycott", even when they look up "embargo" first. Two dozen cartoons by Argentinian illustrator Santiago Cornejo (Corne) humorously clarify confusing distinctions between words and make this a fun reference for all word lovers to enjoy., Even good writers sometimes find the right word elusive.

    The seller kept me informed as the process went along. The package seemed adequate, and the items were as described, and since I have purchased this item before. The value was appropriate. Unfortunately, one of the canisters was broken, I suspect it was dropped at some point. The seller worked to secure an agreement as to a refund for the broken item, and arrived the same day. I was pleased with the outcome, and would recommend them.

    As listed, the box of the item itself was damaged but the contents inside were in brand new condition! Unfortunately, the motorized portion of the track was broken out of the box. The seller was very understanding of this complication and was quick to respond and provide a solution. The item was damaged out of the factory but the seller was kind and took care of the issue. I recommend this seller!
