Hello Barbara and everyone -
You are right...That is my fault. My mistake. So to clarify....

The mystery novel written in SignWriting is written in the sign  
language used in the Madrid area of Spain, which I believe is  
officially called "Lengua de Signos Española" (LSE) (Spanish Sign  
Language)?...I hope I have that name correctly now?...If not, please  
tell me...

We have two sections for SignWriting documents from Spain online:

Lengua de Signos Española (LSE)
http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle/index1.html#sgn-ES

and...

Lengua de Signos Catalunya (Catalan Sign Language)
http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle/index1.html#sgn-ES-ct

And general information at:

SignWriting in Spain
http://www.SignWriting.org/spain

We are slowly trying to add the old documents to the SignPuddle  
databases above...including the LSE novel...we are adding page by page  
in the LSE Literatura section right now...far from finished ;-)

There is also a current project using SignWriting in Barcelona now, I  
understand...I believe it is a cd or a dvd that includes SignWriting  
along with video or animation...I have just heard about this, and look  
forward to learning more about it...


Val ;-)
