Lot of 2: Dictionary of Contemporary American Usage/New Roget's Thesaurus

This bundle includes two classic reference books. The first one is 'A Dictionary of Contemporary American Usage' by Bergan Evans and Cornelia Evans, published by Random House in 1957. The second is 'The New Roget's Thesaurus of the English Language in Dictionary Form' by Norman Lewis, published by G.P. Putnam's Sons in 1964. The books are in good condition, though they show some signs of age. There's minor soiling on the covers, loss of material along the spines, yellowed pages, minor soiling on the fore edge of the text block, and creased pages throughout.

These two reference books are great for anyone looking to improve their English language skills. You can use the dictionary to understand contemporary American word usage and the thesaurus to find synonyms and antonyms. When using them, handle the books gently due to the minor spine damage. To maintain them, keep them in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent further yellowing of the pages. Also, avoid eating or drinking near the books to prevent additional soiling.
