This is a book to refer to rather than actualy read. It is like a gesture dictionary. Every entry has a useful little drawing to illustrate it. Gestures are listed alphabetically, with names like 'belly slice' and 'forefinger dip'. This means you have to rather guess at what a particular gesture is called, but they had to decide on some way of listing things and this is at least logical and consistent. I bought this book because a lot of other sources I've been reading refer to it. It seems to be a really comprehensive listing of its subject matter, and it should therefore prove very useful.

PERFECT ITEM: I was looking for it and here in Italy, where I live, I was going to spend around 20 and wait minimun couple of weeks. Really happy to find it in Amazon/the great seller that make me pay less than 5, (shipping included). A used book, as THEY say, but really in perfect conditions. TRULY RECOMMENDED! =) Thank you so much! Alessia
