Building Your Vocabulary

New York: Prentice Hall, 1944. hardcover. 8vo 281pp. seventh printing, May 1944. from Preface: "The purpose of this book is to present to the reader the shortest and surest way to effect a worthwhile vocabulary. Many people think that the possession of a large vocabulary means the ability to clothe one's thoughts in words of unusual length. Actually, it is the direct opposite. The man who takes five words to do the work of one has the wrong kind of vocabulary. An adequate vocabulary enables one to express his thoughts succinctly."
