Having said all of that, this book is still an beautiful artefact to have; especially if you are the kind of person that has interest in historical sign languages. This Dictionary features a whopping 5600+ entries with simple illustrations for all of them.

This book is an excellent resource addition to any library of someone interested in Sign Language or a seasoned interpreter. Pictures and explanations on each sign is clear and concise. Elaine Costello is well known in the field of American Sign Language and this book shows that.

I like how the book has so many different sign definitions. If you need a quick reference the sign you need is very easy to find. Perfect if you have to study for a quiz or a test.
