Because many metaphors work as independent quotations, aphorisms, and proverbs, the book also serves as a quotation finder. To make Metaphors Dictionary as useful and accessible as possible, the more than 6,500 entries have been grouped into 600 thematic categories, with more than 500 synonyms to ease
and enhance ready reference. The Table of Thematic Categories (beginning on page xvii) is an alphabetical list of all the thematic categories, synonyms, and See/See also cross references.
