Although no book can offer a 100% benefit relative to actual signing, this book is not cluttered, nor is it difficult to understand. Colloquialisms play an important facet to American Sign Language, so this book too will appeaer to be biased depending on one's own locale. Signs are used in context compared to others who categorize signs such as "animals, family relationships, etc." The author concedes the fact that not all words necessarily have a universal sign. I have used this book for instruction and it has been very successful.
Makes learning on your own easy! September 27, 1998

This book has been in my personal library for 10 years. Rather than learning words independently, signing is learned in sentence form. This greatly aids in the retention of the signs. You can begin conversing from lesson one. Easy to follow directions and graphics show how to make the signs. Fingerspelling practice drills are given at the end of each lesson. This book will put you on your way to being a proficient signer.
