This book was awful. Other than the history and intro it was not well written. The pictures were blurry and the descriptions vague. The grammar was written over emphasizing basic things and under emphasizing complex things. Highly suggest just getting books and at kids not text books. I gave up on it halfway through
If it got better comment about it.

The theory behind this book is that for one hour a day for a total of 24 hours, you can teach yourself how to sign. Although it gave a very good history of ASL in general as well as signing culture, it was crap at teaching. I don't know anyone who could learn signing proficiently enough at one hour a day.
