Title: Horribly Illustrated. Many Wrong Signs.
Product review: Read: 1/13Rate: 1/51/13: A little bit of my background before I review the book: I am deaf, and I have many years of experience using ASL; hence, I know what I am talking about. My hearing friend showed me a book entitled Talking With Your Hands, Listening With Your Eyes. Upon a cursory glance through the book, I find numerous of errors. A lot of times, the pictures of the signs aren't what they are perceived to be. There are several intermediary steps missing. And for some of the others, they are dead wrong. Like people will say, "a picture says a thousand of words." No amount of description for every sign in the book will fully explain it; only watching a person signing a word says it all. Beginner signers ought to take a look at Elaine Costello'sSigning: How To Speak With YOur Handsand then find an experienced deaf signer for further reinforcement. And everybody else, they can just laugh at Talking With Your Hands, Listening With Your Eyes and discard it.
