This book is really exceptional. It complements Online Dictionaries. Some dictionaries bring basic idioms, others bring some phrasal verbs, but it's not uncommon not be able to find what you are looking for. What I liked especially about this dictionary is the colorful and extensive options available for the same idiom. If there are, say, 5 ways of saying the same idiom, you'll find it there. If you want to spice up your vocabulary or find out how natives speak, this book is for you.

This book is one of the most comprehensive I've ever seen when it comes to Idioms and Phrasal Verbs. It gives not only the explanation about the listed terms, but also includes usage examples. At the end of the book, there is a reference index which helps to find any expression contained in there. If you know at least one word from the phrase you are looking for, then you may find it listed and then you just go to the proper page for the necessary details. If you are a language learner or simply a language lover, it is a book that you should have on your shelf.
Love it. Tons and tons of pages of valuable knowledge of everyday idioms and verbal phrases. Useful even for those whose mother tongues is English.
