"“The second edition of The American Sign Language Handshape Dictionary is a handy reference. Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through graduate students, general readers, and professionals.” * CHOICE * ""This reference complements other ASL dictionaries by organizing signs by handshape rather than alphabetically by English word order. In so doing, it acts best as a recognition tool for the ASL learner, leading the user quickly to specific signs without having first to refer to an English-equivalent word. Multiple meanings of a single sign also allow deaf people to increase their English vocabulary. A worthwhile complement to a public or academic library collection."" * Library Journal * ""Look up the sign, find the word! It presents students, sign language teachers, and Deaf people alike with a genuinely innovative resource to hone communication skills in both ASL and English."" * Deaf Life * ""Every student of ASL should have this book. It would also be an excellent reference book for deaf students who want to create ABC stories, a popular form of ASL storytelling."" -- Kim B. Kurz * Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education *"
