The introduction alone tells you so much, and offers so much valuable info about the deaf community, types of hearing loss, origins of ASL, diagrams of the importance of hand location, shape, movement and orientation while signing, etc. etc.!

- Excellent resourceAlthough this does not have every word I've attempted to look up, such as "steam", it is very useful as a reference for learning sign language. Very clear pictures and descriptions. Gives alternate meanings/uses for signs. This was recommended to me by a young woman who is studying sign language in college. I'm just teaching my baby some signs, but have enjoyed having one book to look up words in, and hope to keep learning more even when my daughter is older! A wonderful, quite way to communicate.
