Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running English-to-Croatian thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of Collected Works of Poe, Volume IV by Edgar Allan Poe was edited for three audiences. The first includes Croatian-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL® or TOEIC® preparation program. The second audience includes English-speaking students enrolled in bilingual education programs or Croatian speakers enrolled in English-speaking schools. The third audience consists of students who are actively building their vocabularies in Croatian in order to take foreign service, translation certification, Advanced Placement® (AP®) or similar examinations. By using the Webster's Croatian Thesaurus Edition when assigned for an English course, the reader can enrich their vocabulary in anticipation of an examination in Croatian or English.

Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to “difficult, yet commonly used” words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Croatian, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English, and avoid them using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not translated on a page, chances are that it has been translated on a previous page.

If you are either learning Croatian, or learning English as a second language (ESL) as a Croatian speaker, this book is for you. There are many editions of Collected Works of Poe, Volume IV. This one is worth the price if you would like to enrich your Croatian-English vocabulary, whether for self-improvement or for preparation in advanced of college examinations. Each page is annotated with a mini-thesaurus of uncommon words highlighted in the text. Not only will you experience a great classic, but learn the richness of the English language with Croatian synonyms at the bottom of each page. You will not see a full translation of the English text, but rather a running bilingual thesaurus to maximize the reader’s exposure to the subtleties of both languages.
