I thought this book would have more information with regards to actual conversation and even show examples of person person conversation. The illustrations were simple, but due to being drawings versus photos of actual people doing the signs, it was sometimes difficult to determine what the actual movements were. I probably would have better success with video instruction than just a book alone.

I received this book originally the year it was published, well over 20 years ago. With a few additions, it is basically the same as my first edition. I bought this one for my children, who are now taking their first ASL courses. I like how clear the illustrations are, but the reason I prefer this as a first lessons book to others on the market, is because of the hints to help remember signs, written below each description. It helps cement the new language into memory. GIRL signed like a bonnet string, for example. There are, perhaps, not enough Deaf Culture or Linguistic Theory notations in this book for a real die-hard, but for an entry-level student, it is easy to browse, organized well by topic, has a clear index table of contents, and serves a first year student well as a vocabulary reference dictionary.

Really easy to understand. Love it. Definitely not a replacement to a real class or being able to communicate with deaf person's, but it's a great start for it!

Bought this book as it was required for an ASL class. This book is older but still very relevant for learning. Some signs are outdated but you will find that with any book as the signs are always changing.

The book was older and is falling apart from the binding.
