• I Learned Alot... 04 September, 2000
This book is a good book for learning Basic Sign Language phrases. I have all the asl books by Mickey Flodin, and I think he's really great at explaining the signs, as well as the clear pictures. I will continue to buy his asl books for teaching sign language.

• Not For Serious Signers 31 August, 2003
Like other reviews on this book, it's important for me to mention that the title is misleading. "Signing Everyday Phrases" leads potential ASL students to believe that this book shows you how to sign phrases in American Sign Language. In reality, it shows you Signed English, something that is NOT used by adult Deaf people. This is speaking as an adult Deaf person.Really the only thing good about this book would be if you are looking to communicate with a deaf child. Otherwise, please look the other way and you'll find many more suitable resources. (Note: Some of Mickey Flodin's books are highly recommended, but basically just the ones that shows signs alone). :o(

• Title Is Misleading!it Doesn't Teach Phrases As Used By Deaf 07 February, 1999
If you are expecting to sign phrases as the Deaf use (i.e. American Sign Language), this book is NOT for you. Some places in the book did not list the approiate sign for that context. This reviewer would recomend staying away from this book as it presents Pidgen Sign English but too often with the wrong sign.

• Not Asl! 26 March, 2008
This book is not ASL at all; it is Signed Exact English: english syntax, word order, articles and pronouns everywhere, prepositions, and auxiliary verbs ("am").
The introduction specifies that the contents are American Sign Language and says nothing about SEE. This claim is a falsehood that seems intentional; no one who knows this much about signs could not know the difference. I will buy nothing from this publisher (Perigee) in this topic again.
