Title: Old, out dated, and NOT ASL
Review: This was the book used in my first "ASL" class. This book is not about American Sign Language... it is about sign based on signed english.The one thing I will give the book is that it is categorized by topic area. I wish more sign books did this.Negatives: Many signs are signed english The signs are outdated or from a regional area that is not applicable to most signers. The Index is inaccruate -- signs included in the book are not found in the index. Several signs are not accurate. (I spent a LOT of time crossing out signs and trying to write new descrpitions on how to sign them.)There are better books -- find them!
