4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Book To Have Around, August 31, 2003
This review is from: The Pocket Dictionary Of Signing (Perigee) (Mass Market Paperback)
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)

By A Customer
This book helped my whole family learn basic sign language in only a few short hours. I have tried numerous books but this one is the best. I couldn't say more than if you are looking for a book on how to sign...start here it is the best place to start or to brush up on basic knowledge.

By A Customer
This review is from: The Pocket Dictionary Of Signing (Perigee) (Mass Market Paperback)
I volunteer at a local hospital working with children.Some are deaf. My directer asked me if I wanted to work with these children.I wanted to but I didn't know how to sign.With a few classes and this book I learned how to communicate with these children.Now I really love signing.
