Homophones and Homographs: An American Dictionary by James B. Hobbs

This new edition defines and cross-references 7,781 homophones (words that sound alike) and 1,552 homographs (look-alikes), based on pronunciations that prevail in most areas of the U.S. Hobbs (emeritus, Lehigh U.) provides some context and perspective on the phenomena: definitions, the conflict of homophones controversy, criteria for including and excluding words in this volume, notational devices and phonetic symbols, and the organization of the dictionary.
