This is one of the best A.S.L. books that I have checked out so far to help with vocabulary enrichment. The illustrations and the written descriptions accompanying them are clear and easily understood. We double checked all the signs with http://www.handspeak.com and found that most of them are exactly as they are shown on the website; something that other ASL books didn't do. I would recommend this book for anybody looking to increase sign fluency and are not yet concerned with the structure of the how things are signed since that was not covered.
