How to obtain the workbook?

The book is a veritable treasure chest of the English language. My only objection, why is the workbook that is written for this book not available online? Where can it be obtained? I have tried the quickreference site, but it does not have it for sale there.

Wow. What an interesting vocabulary book. Obviously, the author has spent years of hard work writing this book. I love studying root words. Once you understand the root of the word, the rest is easy.... Pterodactyl.. Pter=wing + dactyl=finger, gives you "winged finger". Helicopter... helico=circular + pter=wing, gives your "circular wing." This book really makes learning vocabulary fun and easy. He also has a web site at http://www.quickreference.com



Word Roots

This is a useful book if looking for these general words. Maybe I was not exactly sure of what I was looking for. I was looking for an etymology book with more Old Testament words. This book will be helpful in other areas of my studies. CS Jones

There has never been a book that exploits the power of word roots as thoroughly as the Vocabulary Quick Reference. Its audience includes students studying for college entrance exams, teachers, libraries, medical students and practitioners, biology students, ESL students, and numerous others who don't fall into any of these categories but just want to improve their vocabulary. The Vocabulary Quick Reference is the only book of its kind. It gives 260 Greek and Latin word roots, which are listed in the primary root index at the beginning of the book. This book is unique in that for each word root, it gives a complete list of words that contain that root. The keyword section is also unique in that it provides a comprehensive alphabetical list of the most important words (keywords) from each definition. This list brings many related words together so they can be studied together, as well as providing a method for looking up a word through its meaning. All words that are related are referenced. Complete etymology and pronunciation are provided for each word.

Three-colored text is used for selective emphasis of critical information. Red text indicates a very common word. This is especially helpful to students studying for the SAT. The blue words within each dictionary definition provide a shorter and easier-to- remember definition embedded within each complete definition and also comprise the alphabetical list in the keyword section.

The clever organization of this unique book results in a vocabulary learning tool that is packed with information, yet is not intimidating.
