5.0 out of 5 stars Efficient and effective learning and reference tool
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2005
Verified Purchase
ASL (Amercian Sign Language) is not just a different language but is also a culture. I am a hearing person currently enrolled in a Beg. ASL class, and for anyone who is starting to learn this art form, this book is very useful as both a learning and especially a reference tool. After combing thru other options, I thought this book is the most efficient one that a beginner like me can use. The book, unlike most others, organizes the signs categorically instead of alphabetically. Emotions, food, actions, etc...For someone who seeks a quick word by alphabet, there is also the index at the end. In addition, there are signing tips under each illustration to help to memorize the signing gesture with word or thought associations. Signs that require repetitive motion are pointed out clearly with arrows. I find it easy to use and comprehensible, but for someone who has some basic signing knowledge, they would probably be better off buying a smaller reference guide to carry around. Overall, the book should be the 1st option among the other offerings currently on the shelves.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very abundant resource
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2013
Verified Purchase
This is a great resource with a ton of signs in it organized by topic. It is not to be used alone, but makes a great supplement to an ASL course. ASL has regional "dialects" and some of the signs in this book are not used where I live, so you really need the guidance of a fluent signer (preferably someone who lives in the Deaf community and communicates in ASL on a regular basis). It uses standard pictures which are usually simple enough to understand. All in all, it was a great purchase and is a great addition to my ASL "library".

5.0 out of 5 stars Everywhere A Sign?
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2019

I had correspondence going with one of these fake posters on a dating site. Most of the time you can smell them from a mile away but this one was good. Said she was in Russia and needed a fresh start. DUH-H-HH! Well, it got so real that I decided to get a translation device, which goes for $200. This was the next best option.

When you think about it, if you've got a language barrier between you and a loved one, it is basically a communication breakdown. Sign language can breach that gap. If you're up and around and can't pull your bilingual dictionary, signing can be a quick way to convey a message. This is a 320-page book with good descriptions and excellent depictions of the sign along with the proper way to use the hand gesture. We see how law enforcement uses signs to communicate when noise discipline is crucial. We also know the value of being able to communicate across a crowded room or in a noisy area at times. And, of course, this is of great value with the handicapped. In my case, it can bridge a gap if you ever develop a relationship with an ESL person. As for my deal --- don't ask.

If you're looking for an all-purpose tool for non-verbal communication, Mickey Flodin's book may be a great place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2020

My 3 year old son has autism and is near non-verbal. I began introducing him to sign language at 18 months old. Sign has helped to open him up to speaking. With the first 6 months he was able to identify over 100 signs. Although he has regressed, this book is one of the tools we use to practice. Its very informative and helpful. I only wish there was a dvd to accompany the books to show how to execute the signs properly. This is actually my second copy, I ordered for my mom. My sister in law and brother are ordering the same book also.

I really like the format of this book. It has great illustrations, description of how the sign is executed, as well as a historical basis for the sign. My only concern is whether or not the signs are still current. It was last updated in 2004.
