 More helpful than your standard ASL dictionary ( rosebriar2 )
This book is great because it explains how to say real phrases, as opposed to showing you dictionary words without context. The writing is clear and easy to understand, and there's a lot of background information as well. I recommend this book to anyone who is truly attempting to become fluent in ASL.

 OK but could have been better. ( ahaycoman )
The pictures were very cartoon-like and the depiction of the signing was sometimes hard to decipher just what the gesture actually was supposed to be. Some explanations and/or additional comments would have helped. This book was okay, but not outstanding...I would think a better investment could be made.

My favorite ASL book ( tsmullins )
I have studied several ASL books, and this book is easily the best I have used. This book teaches you ASL phrases and ASL grammar. I really like the way this book explains ASL grammar and sentence structure.

The American Sign Language Phrase book
This book is great for those learning A.S.L. because it gives you conversational phrases that you would normally use in taking to deaf people. Much like a Learning French Tape that tells you basic phrases you would use in English and French so that you can learn to converse in Sign by knowing the right phrase and style to use.
The only problem I had was that some people have a hard time figuring out the correct hand motion from the illustrations. Also if you are not used to ASL sentence structure you will have a hard time understanding some of the phrases.
I found it to be a good hand book for teaching basic sign phrases and words.
I suggest using this book with a class or an Instructional Video. It will help to see the signs in motion so that you can match the motion with the illustration.
