Book Reviews of Random House Webster's American Sign Language Dictionary
Book Review: Love this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
SO much information in one book!!!!!! I expected a book where I can simply look up a sign for a particular word, but this book offers so much more! 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.! This book is wonderful!! Each word offers written words on HOW to sign it, what it LOOKS like with diagrams, a quick explanation of the sign! Having studied ASL in college, and needing a refresher due to a hearing loss in my 19 month old son, this book has become so helpful! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
