This book is a good resource for those who are learning ASL. The signs are grouped together by subject, not alphabetized, so if you're looking for a sign quickly, it can be a bit of a chore. However, this book includes signs that other books simply don't; the chapter on religious signs is particularly helpful. This popular dictionary of approximately 1,500 known signs makes them easier to remember. Sentences present signs in proper context. Appendix gives information about the most effective way to add signs to spoken English. Highly illustrated and well organized, this book provides context and historical perspective in addition to "how-to" sign and communicate. no reviews | add a review
