• Helpful 20 November, 2005
I've found this book helpful in my attempts at learning ASL (granted I have not been overly successful at it yet, but I am to blame for that, not the book). The diagrams are clear and I think they've done a good job in the selection of words. In addition to the diagrams there are nice little text explanations on how to make the signs and even suggested memory aids. I haven't done a detailed comparison with other books or anything, but I believe that for the price, and conveniently small size of this book, it is real bargain.

• A Good Book To Have Around 31 August, 2003
As you may already know, this is the pocket-sized version of Mickey Flodin's "Perigee Dictionary of Sign." Filled with clear illustrations, descriptions of each sign and memory aids as well, this book is a wonderful resource to carry with you for "emergencies." Don't depend on this to give you enough vocabulary to have a real conversation, but do consider it a valuable tool in many social circumstances. As a Deaf ASL teacher, I can recommend this book to anyone who wants to carry with them a safety net! :o)

• Learn To Sign 15 April, 2003
I bought this book when I was in 4th grade so I could learn how to sign when I grow up mostly because I want to be a pediatritian and want to be able to communicate with all my patients ( I've wanted to be a doctor since I was 3 or 4 years old). I believe it's harder for me because I'm not deaf and sometimes don't bother with it since I know I don't need to know it, though now I'm in 6th grade and have really taken a likeing to it and even though I'm picked on since I studied sign language I've realize this book has turn my life around because it REALLYS teaches you sign language and tells you how to move your hands and demostrates it in the picture. The thing thta makews it 4 stars is that it doesn't give me as many signs that I would like to learn, but by the time I'm ready to get my liscens to do medicine I'll be able to talk to everyone!!!!!

• No Help To Me 03 May, 2005
I have had the WORST luck with this book. As a music teacher, I often use signs to supplement the songs we sing - both in class and in performance. However, out of maybe 35 words I've looked up in this "dictionary", I've found the signs for about five! Words like "special" and "place" are NOT in this book, although they should be.
Not recommended.
