Good to learn sign languages and good for people who is interested in sign language like me..

Thorough and clear diagrams, this book is exactly what it is supposed to be, a dictionary of signs. Illustrations make positions and motions clear, and the vocabulary is nicely varied. One star off because it doesn't really inspire one to study, but I don't suppose a dictionary is supposed to anyway.

I use this mostly as a reference book to teach my grandson sign language. It is a quick reference.

A good sign language dictionary--which I believe to be a requirement for anyone who signs.

You should already know what this book is about. It's a very informational book. I learned lots of sign language. And it can get very hard to remember all of it.

I have tried to learn sign language from this book since my cousin can't hear. That's when texting comes in handy.
