this is an awesome book and one i recommend to buy for any interpreters, teachers of ASL and advanced ASL students. I am constantly using it as a reference. I had the pleasure of meeting the author last year and he autographed my copy.

A nice addition to any library of ASL teachers or interpreters. Much is already known if you are already in the profession, but iI like how it touches so many aspects of the ASL language.
