The Perigee Visual Dictionary of Signing by Rod R Butterwoth

The most comprehensive alphabetized guide to American Sign Language (ASL) available today.

Unlike other signing books, which organize by "categories," the Visual Dictionary is arranged in a straightforward, easy-to-use dictionary format.

Inside you'll find special features offering a fast, simple approach to the art of signing, including-
.More than 1,350 signs -- arranged alphabetically with directions on how to use each sign
.Detailed illustrations -- showing precise hand positions and exact movements
.Memory aids -- to assist in recalling how to make each sign
.Sample sentences -- to clarify grammatical usage
.Numbers -- from one to one million, including monetary signs
.Fingerspelling -- a vital tool for communicating words for which there are no signs, or for when the sign has not yet been learned
.Helpful hints -- suggestions and tips for easier signing
.A comprehensive index -- with all entries and their synonyms for easy cross-referencing

Authors Rod R. Butterworth and Mickey Flodin have written many widely used signing books, including Signing Made Easy and The Pocket Dictionary of Signing.

Mickey Flodin, a renowned illustrator and award-winning fine artist, has been sketching ink since he was a toddler. He's a self-taught artist who gets his ideas from nature. His finely detailed acrylic paintings and replicas have been shown and sold in galleries across the country.
