GREAT buy!
Living with my husband and his parents, I have spent years asking for signs so that I can say certain things to his deaf brother. Now, I do not have to ask someone else for signs! I can simply pull out my sign language dictionary and find out a sign for myself! YAY!

Very useful dictionary
This is a small, handbook sized dictionary with clear depictions of American Sign Language terms (it translates from English to American Sign Language). Very useful and practical.
