Customer Reviews: easy to use October 6, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Got this book for a class. It's easy to use, includes different variations of signs that might be used. As with any sign book though, you have to try to figure out what the sign will look like in action from a drawing. comprehensive start to ASL February 4, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I have taken ASL classes and was using this book as a review. It's pretty comprehensive and contains substantive amounts of nouns (both concrete and abstract), verbs, adjectives, etc. The pictures and the descriptions are very helpful too. Good introduction for self-teaching of the basics of ASL May 17, 2002 3 out of 4 found this review helpful Good book for getting started... after reading and using it you may want to get a more complete education in Sign Language. Excellent Resource May 18, 2001 3 out of 4 found this review helpful This is very helpful for those wishing to learn some basic sign language. Great for beginners October 24, 1998 11 out of 11 found this review helpful This book is great for beginners. It shows you alot of signs that would get you started and on your way. However, our class has learned that because all of the signs are not 'universal', we needed an ASL dictionary to go along with it. The discriptions of the signing actions need to be read a couple of times in some instances to understand what you are susposed to do. But is is good for a beginner to get the basics.
