It's a student workbook that is basically a template for a DIY ASL dictionary. It's wildly helpful for students learning new vocabulary because they are documenting the concepts as they learn them. Here's the official description: This workbook is intended for advanced ASL students to individually fill-in ASL vocabulary signs as they are learned to create a personal dictionary. Included in this book are directions on how to utilize the transcriptions system, SignWriting techniques and examples to guide the vocabulary entries. Also included is a small section for a handshape thesaurus, an index to keep the dictionary organized, and reference charts commonly used in advanced ASL courses. Bookstores can order it, it can be purchased through the publisher direc<br>> t<br>> > ly, or Amazon.com carries it. Here are the links to the preview and purchase site of my publisher: A Preview of the text can be downloaded from the site if you follow this link: https://www.createspace.com/pub/community/give.review.do?id=1148793&rewrite=true Purchase from the Publisher: https://www.createspace.com/4806517 It is also available on Amazon.com at this link. http://www.amazon.com/Vocabulary-Book-Advanced-Students-Transcriptions/dp/0692221751/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407094842&sr=8-1&keywords=asl+vocab+book And here is a discount codes I've set up for advertizing purposes if purchased through my publisher: 10% off: PWRB93JM. I have another code that is worth $10 off the price that I'll give to individual people or for those who ask for it. Thanks for your time- I hope you like my work! Jacs Jacalyn W.
