5.0 out of 5 stars AN EXCELENT TOOL, 8 Nov 2002
This very large book (too heavy to carry around) is invaluable for the learner and experienced signer.

The photos are of very good quality and descriptive text well put and easy to understand. The signs are mainly BSL with multi-channel signs being included.

Dont be out off buying this book due to its high price compared to other sign language books, this is a real investment. You will find it usefull and acurate.

4.0 out of 5 stars A thoroughly researched and systematically presented book, 23 Dec 1999
This book is a mine of information. The 57 handshapes are clearly demonstrated, the notation of the signs is explained in detail, and the reader is shown how to look up signs seen but previously not understood.

1.0 out of 5 stars Signed and dated
A very impressive book, but surely BSL is a living language? This book keeps it entombed in the last century, some of the photos look even older than its 1993 publication date... Read more
