SignWriting List
May 1, 2005

Hello Barbara and Anny -
I don't know if the Italian Lessons in SignWriting textbook is
available (just the spoken language part), but you could write to
either Barbara or Elena Pizutto to find out...Barbara...could Anny get
a copy of the Italian spoken language of the textbook?  The
Italian-Swiss would want to put in their own signs anyway......Val ;-)
