This dictionary is clear and well drawn. What makes this dictionary far superior to others is the included DVD. You can search or browse through the signs and see them all done live. It's very easy to use. I teach ASL and I've brought it out to show examples many times. Often times sign books don't have as many Mid-west signs, but this one really doesn't seem to have a East coast slant to it. It aslo includes most of the newest signs for coutries around the world. That's something you won't find many places.
Being a sign language student means having a dictionary with as many signs as possible is a MUST! This dictionary is from the ONLY DEAF COLLEGE in the U.S. and what is really awesome about THIS particular one is that it comes with a DVD showing HOW EACH SIGN should be performed!! Amazing and fantastically informative describes briefly how helpful this book is for a student studying ASL.
Great reference tool for anyone studying ASL. Includes a DVD for easy lookup of words. The DVD shows how the signs are to be made in video format.

Received the book in better condition than expected. This ASL book included a CD. Often the CD is missing. This book and CD were intact. I would not hesitate to order again. Especially since this is my passion of study. Thank you!

Before getting this dictionary, my next most recent is copyright 1980. ASL changes and it's necessary to keep up. This dictionary is 2005, not new but more up to date than what I had prior. This title includes a DVD.
