Seller's described as new, but was actually in used condition. *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 21, 2021* The book itself is awesome! However, this was listed as being a brand new book. Clearly it was not. The corners of the cover and pages were dinged up and bent outward. The back cover had sticky residue portions in multiple places, and the bottom corner was bent backwards like the cover caught on another book when placed on a bookshelf. It also has a eCampus(dot)com textbook resale sticker on it. The front cover had a coffee? drip stain and did not have that new book stiffness to the binding crease, and the book has certain areas it quickly lays open to (in the first 30pgs or so), like those were places a previous owner had it opened to for awhile while studying. The top of the book (as it would stand on a bookshelf) has dust or finger smudges. Like I mentioned, the book itself and the way ASL is taught in this book is awesome! I gave that aspect 5 stars. I just wish there had been more integrity from the seller in the description by listing it as "gently used" or "like new but previously used" etc. instead of passing it off as completely NEW. I could have paid far less for a copy that was truthfully listed as used if I had wanted a used copy to begin with. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unique, helpful! *by T***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 15, 2017* As with every sign language book, the signs my dead step father uses are different from some of the signs in this book (likely regional and personal differences). I had the students in my class buy this book for us to use. The pictures are great and help to clarify what the sign actually looks like, which sets this book apart from most others. I do not like how the signs within each chapter are organized, though. They are organized alphabetically but my brain doesn't work that way when it comes to signs. I like for opposites to be together, for similar category words to be together (drinks together, fruits together, meats together, desserts together, mealtime signs, etc.) and similar signs (all female signs, for instance) to be together. I have discovered a way around this (I make a list of the words in each chapter in the easiest order to reach and learn them, then they can use the book as reference). ### ⭐ Mostly useless *by E***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 17, 2010* Looks like I get to be the first negative review for this book. I'm guessing the author has lots of colleagues/friends/family/students.I got this book so I could learn ASL to talk with a deaf friend.The good: It contains a fairly comprehensive set of signs. There were only a couple signs I tried to find and couldn't.The bad: For starters, while there are photos for the facial expressions, the other head and face movement components of the signs are not indicated. Nor is there any text to describe the shown facial expressions, so one has to guess as to whether or not any facial expression is actually necessary and what its intention is. These are vital parts of ASL signs that are mostly left out of this book.When I started going through this I found that some of the signs conflict with 3 other ASL books I had been using. When I showed this book to my deaf friend she said the book was wrong. We both went through Chapter 2 together, counted, and 25% of the signs were signs that she said were wrong, and my other 3 ASL books, for the most part, agreed with my friend. I had at first attributed this discrepancy to regional variation, but the problem is too pronounced. Either regional variations in ASL are mutually unintelligible (in which case they wouldn't be regional variations of the same language) or this book is using the wrong signs a quarter of the time.It should also be noted that many of the signs in the book that we classified as correct are actually only just "close to correct". Many of them are simplified versions of the real ASL signs. Important hand (and head) movements are quite often omitted in both the photographs and the text.Even more disappointing is that this book contains absolutely nothing about ASL grammar. It's just a dumping of signs, a categorized dictionary. This book provides no instruction for learning the actual language. A language is much more than just the vocabulary. If all you want is a dictionary, there are numerous free ASL dictionaries online which will show you the signs, many showing signs with videos so you get all the information needed to PROPERLY make those signs, and those dictionaries are at least as accurate, most are more accurate, than this book.I recommend you save your money for something else. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1705545-talking-with-your-hands-listening-with-your-eyes-a-complete](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1705545-talking-with-your-hands-listening-with-your-eyes-a-complete) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
