Editorial Review:
A Barron's bestseller for years, this book is better than ever in a brand new fourth edition. In addition to its standard vocabulary lists, this edition includes a new section called Panorama of Words. In this feature, each of the 1100 words appears in a sentence selected from among well known novels, plays, poems, and even newspaper editorials and TV broadcasts. The book is a vocabulary builder aimed directly at college-bound high school students, as well as college students who need extra vocabulary help. Students will find word lists with definitions, analogy exercises, entertaining word games, and fascinating words-in-context exercises.

I got 670 on my GRE Verbal and I started with this book.
I didn't get the second edition of this book. I only have the original edition. I don't even know when it was printed. All I know is that my mom got the book back in the late 80s. The book was incredibly old by the time I started to use it.
