Customer Reviews
I love this book!
I've been using this book for the past year or so to supplement my study of ASL. The only problem/question I have about this book is about why the book appears to be in PDF format instead of the traditional iBook format. It makes it hard for me to use the book properly. Because of this, I cannot change the font size or anything like that. Likewise, when I zoom in, it messes up the page orientation and advanced the page number.
Other than that, this is an excellent resource for anyone studying ASL.
