The American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms by Christine Ammer
English | Mar 1997 | ISBN: 039572774X | 1191 Pages | PDF | 4 MB

This excellent survey of almost 10,000 contemporary idioms has a clear format and large type, which should make it particularly appealing to young readers and non-native speakers. In addition to idioms, the dictionary includes common figures of speech, formula phrases such as "take care," emphatic redundancies whose word order cannot be reversed such as "cease and desist," common proverbs, colloquialisms, and slang phrases.
