This is a great little book to confirm the correct spelling of a word. I keep a copy at home and at work. The price is quite reasonable too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best inexpensive Spell Checker

I always have to do things on a budget, but wanted to get the best spell checker I could.
I wanted the oxford spell check, but I don't have that kind of money, AND I didn't care about definitions.
But I love this one. inexpensive, 40,000 words, accents, word division and shows past and future tense on a lot of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reference book that is portable
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2014

This is a spelling book on steroids. When a word has more than one spelling and more than one meaning, notations fill the void. Similar sounding words are explained. Words are divided into syllables. This simplifies pronunciation. This is an excellent reference book when English is your second language.

Quick reference. Handy size. Print is easy to read. Perfect for those times that you are not near the computer, and just need to be certain that your spelling is correct. I actually keep this in my kitchen drawer.
