This book is very helpful with basics, but beyond simple phrases it does not contain very many signs... recommended for people learning sign language from scratch. Also, one should cross-reference with a A.S.L. online database to make sure signs are up-to-date.

I have learned a lot about ASL grammar as well as useful phrases from this book. Although I know that I will not be able to attain interpreter status by studying ASL on my own, I have used this book, the Signing Illustrated by Mickey Flodin, and the Barron's ASL The Easy Way to learn enough ASL to be fairly communicative.
Mr. Fant's book is organized by categories, which is the most efficient way to learn ASL I am finding out, and it includes detailed notes on syntax, and useful phrases.
Although no one book can stand alone as the "definitive resource," the 3 I have mentioned are excellent resources for the serious ASL student like myself. I carry the Fant book around and brush up on my phrases whenever I am at a doctor's appointment, or I'm waiting to pick the kids up from school or at a sporting event.
5+stars.
