It has great pictures of how the hands are to be when signing however when looking up a word in the the back the sre so tiny I have to use a magnifier to read them. Other than that It is very handy.

I 'accidentally' ordered this item. As soon as I realized this, I asked the order cancelled.I was told the item had been shipped. I find this hard to believe. Of significance is that Goodwill indicates the organization is for charity. However this is intentionally misleading. It is a for-profit outfit which sells the donated items. Check Google and you will find how much the CEO and associates earn each year.

I am an adult and have been studying sign language for 6 months. I started teaching myself so I could communicate with a student om my school bus I have studied ASL. and this Book Signed English. (Signed English is all signs in proper English order.) For school this book is better as this is what thay teach the students at our school. I use this book every day to learn. and to study. With this book you can learn the signs,Learn sentences, practice signing, learn to read the sings and take tests with answers in the back. You can also use as a dictionary to look up words.I even use it to brush up on my ASL. I don't think you can go wrong with this book when I bought my 1st copy all the reviews I read were good. The Book is old 1989 but most of the signs are still current. NOTE: I recommend that you get a couple of Sign Dictionaries to go with the book. I use American Sign Language Dictionary, and the Gallaudet Dictionary of American Sign Language. When I took a Short course this summer My instructor said the dictionaries were excellent. in fact he had me bring in the American sing Language Dictionary he said that was the one he used for years to learn him self.Read full review
I gave my original copy to my 8 year old great-granddaugter who is very interested in learning sign language. I bought my first copy due to the fact my husband (now deceased) lost his hearing. He was very difficult to communicate with. We agreed to learn signing, took some classes in the subject. This book was a tremendous assest to our daily communications. So after giving my original copy away, I felt the need to have another one on the book shelf. Who knows I may meet another person that I will have the need to communicate with by signing.
Love it, a lot to learn, the other books on signing only had alphabet, numbers , this is what I needed to be able to carry on a conversation if I had to, Thanks so much.
