Signing Signed English A Basic Guide

This quick-reference dictionary to sign language is for everyone who knows, cares about, and wants to communicate with someone who is deaf or hearing impaired.

Now, at last, the language for the hearing impaired-and those who want to talk to them-is literally at your fingertips!Bornstein, Harry is the author of 'Signing Signed English A Basic Guide', published 1988 under ISBN 9780517561324 and ISBN 0517561328.
