Customer Reviews: Read 22 more reviews... If you can only afford one book it should be this one. November 1, 2008 Any person who signs will probably agree that facial expression is a very intregal part of deaf communication...the photographs in this book absolutely excel in that area. Very informative texts preface the images sections and accompanying information on each page (handshape, position, movement, visualizations...) is very well done and is appropriately relevant. Even though I still can hear almost normally with hearing aids, I am attempting to learn ASL as an alternate means of communication, and although I do have other reference material I can use, this book is always the one I choose. If you want more 'bang for your buck' this is the one to go with! Talking With YOur Hands May 17, 2008 This is a great Book! We used this book in a sign language class I took. It is easy to read and understand. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn to talk to the deaf or hard of hearing. Photographic ASL Illustrations! March 18, 2008 This book covers numerous "word groupings" in 17 chapters. Some of these groupings include, "Days of the Week & Time"; "School & Education"; "Descriptions,Thoughts& Emotions"; "The body& Health"; "Mealtime& Food"; "Home&Clothing"; "Numbers,Math Terms,Quantity &Money"; "Pronouns,People&Relationships"; "Actions"; as well as many more. I especially like this book for the photographic illustrations. So far this is the only ASL book I have found with photographic illustrations. With each word there are specific instructions for the proper hand shape, position, and movement to go with each sign as well as a visual reminder for memory. At the bottom of each page there is a photographic guide as a visual reminder of all the proper hand shapes that are used in all the signs for that particular page. I would highly recommend this book for any with the desire to learn Sign Language. Excellent resource February 15, 2008 This book was a required text for a Sign Language I course. The pictures are very clear, it gives good description of hand shape, location and movement. I really like that it gives a hint of how to visualize each sign, it makes it much easier to remember. SignLanguage Reference December 25, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful The book "Talking With Your Hands, Listening With Your Eyes" is a great book for people wanting to start learning sign language. The photographs of the signs are very clear. I especially like the additional material throughout the book about Deaf Culture and history. I recommend this book and enjoyed reading it even though I have been a student of sign language for 5 years.
