This is the book I got jejune from. He only gives a couple of meanings, so it's concise and not one that will bog you down. www.amazon.com/Words-You-Should-Know-Essential/dp/1558500189There's also one for 1,000 words you should know in high school too, LMC. Might help with the SATs...it's the one they're offering with this one. I have them both.

;D ;D ;D ;D I looked it up because I like to know full definitions. That's just me - and I'm sure my hubbie will grill me on it if I use it in Scrabble.
