Skip the sign language dictionaries and go straight for this book if you are an ASL novice. The perfect book to get a quick working vocabulary for basic communicating with a deaf person who uses ASL.

My tepid response to this books comes from one thing: I did not like the illustrations. This book has the potential to be amazing, but in the next edition they need to redo the drawing with a collection that is more clear.

This is the same review I gave for The American Sign Language Phrase Book -- same author, same problem. Perhaps my review of Lou Fant's work is too subjective; I would recommend that you use your library to find the book that is right for you and then purchase it.
