Title: Don't buy this book!
Product review: I picked up this book at a book sale, and didn't even bother looking through it, because it was so cheap. I realized later that I should have.I still consider myself a beginner as far as signing is concerned (I had a year of ASL in college), but even I was stunned at some of the stuff in this book. First of all, the book teaches (or attempts to teach...) Signed English, which is fine as long as the reader is aware of it. What really got to me was the statements about how sign languages really don't have any grammatical rules. How clueless is this guy?!I ended up throwing this book out after looking through it once, and I suggest you do the same. Or better yet, don't buy it in the first place. As with any language, if you want to learn how to sign, take a class. If you're set on buying a book, I suggest instead A Basic Course in American Sign Language by Humphries et al.
