Reviews:
On the Chambers Adult Learners' range:
An
excellent range of reference books from the respected publishers Chambers
for adult learners and adults with dyslexia. These books are not just a re-hash
of standard works, they have been developed specifically to meet the needs
of the target audience.
Chambers have clearly acted on advice received from
the British Dyslexia Association and, for the large print books, also the
RNIB. The books are very accessible and clearly laid out and should prove
popular with anyone who finds a typical dictionary or thesaurus rather impenetrable.

Well laid out, clear, simple, practical. Includes emails
and a section on easily confused words.
