Customer Reviews: Read 41 more reviews... great book October 16, 2008 It is one of the best sign language books out there. Great value for the book. average sign language book February 14, 2008 I own many sign language books/dictionaries. I have to say that this one gets a lot of shelf time. I do not like the format. Most dictionaries are alphabetical order. This dictionary is inconveniently grouped in sections. Things that I do like about the dictionary is that it does give a nice explaination of what your hands are doing, usage (puts the word in a sentence) and many times origin of the sign. If you were only to get one dictionary this is not the one(I would prefer the American Sign Language Dictionary if only purchasing one), but if you would like a nice reference book to add to your collection this is a fine one. The Joy of Signing August 24, 2007 A great resource for anyone wanting to learn or brush up on their sign language skills. Used by teachers January 16, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful This book is used by people who teach sign language and that is how we came to find out about it and why we purchased it. Graphic and easy to follow. Extremely Helpful- A Must Needs! January 15, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Anyone involved in or interested in sign language, I highly recommend you purchase this book. I am involved in a sign team at our church & this book has been very helpful in looking up signs to our songs. It is a GREAT learning tool!
