5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for any interpreter (or interpreter to be)!, May 30, 2001

This review is from: So You Want to Be an Interpreter: An Introduction to Sign Language Interpreting (Paperback)
This book provides TONS of information about interpreting. The examples are a great way to really get into the mind set of all parties involved in an interpreting situation. While the book is pricey it is worth it. This is a reference text that you will use for years.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reviews Interpreting Issues, but Outdated, November 11, 2007
This review is from: So You Want to Be an Interpreter: An Introduction to Sign Language Interpreting (Paperback)
The book is well-written and covers a lot of issues prospective interpreters need to consider and deal with before starting practice. However the testing information is completely outdated with the advent of the NIC test.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as expected, July 25, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: So You Want to Be an Interpreter: An Introduction to Sign Language Interpreting (Paperback)
When I got this book nearly every page is marked on or bent in half. It makes it very difficult to actually read.
