    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Val & Adam,<br>
      <br>
      Congratulations on this amazing work.  It reminds me of the tip of
      the iceberg.  There is so much work that came before this book
      that isn't visible, but this book would have been impossible
      without all of the ground work that came before it.<br>
      <br>
      It is a very fun book to look through.  I love how it is based on
      actual usage, rather than opinion.  I might have to open up the
      symbol frequency reports to see how often the different hand
      shapes are used.  It is very interesting.<br>
      <br>
      Thanks for the mention on page 2.  I am proud that I was able to
      encourage your work.<br>
      <br>
      Warm regards,<br>
      -Steve<br>

      <div>We have a new book to share with the world.... Adam Frost
        used SignPuddle Online (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
          href="http://www.signpuddle.org">www.signpuddle.org</a>) to
        search to see how many hand symbols were used to write American
        Sign Language in the ASL Dictionary, ASL Literature and ASL
        Bible databases, and through that process, 86 hand symbols were
        chosen. This is out of the 261 hand symbols in the entire
        International SignWriting Alphabet (ISWA 2010) (<a
