Stefan Woehrmann's instruction book

[Valerie Sutton]

SignWriting List
November 4, 2005

Hello Shane, Thierry, Stefan, Birgit!
I am more than willing to do the English translation of Stefan's book  
anytime...And I know that Birgit, the publisher, wants that too, but  
asked me to wait because the book in German just got published in  
July and she needs time before publishing another version of the same  
book, and that is understandable...

Meanwhile, the book is so visual that the spoken language in the book  
is not as important as Stefan's beautiful illustrations that show  
what the SignWriting means...THANK YOU, Stefan, for this gift!

Val ;-)
