Last year I read a few reviews of a new book explaining in detail fine
shades of difference between words and phrases sometimes considered as
synonyms. I failed to note down the title. Does anybody know what it
is?

Perhaps:

Merriam Webster's Dictionary of Synonyms: A Dictionary of
Discriminated Synonyms With Antonyms and Analogous and Contrasted
Words
