NEW BOOK: American Sign Language Hand Symbols Manual

[Stephen E Slevinski Jr]

Hi Val & Adam,

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.

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.

Thanks for the mention on page 2.  I am proud that I was able to 
encourage your work.

Warm regards,
-Steve
