About this title

Review

"Written for parents, other learners at all levels and BSL tutors, it is a clear and 'easy to use' dictionary of signs giving pictures along with a written explanation of each sign." -  Naomi Chunilal, TALK magazine, National Deaf Children's Society

From the Publisher

Co-Sign Communications is an established publishing concern producing books about British Sign Language (BSL) and deafness. As recently as 15 years ago books on this subject were virtually non existant, but the intervening years have seen a mushrooming of interest in this field.
Until BSL is given equal status to other languages, the Deaf community will remain an oppressed minority.  Co-Sign Communications is committed to producing high standard, affordable books that are accessible to new-comers and professionals alike.

Sharing knowledge and information to put an end to bigotry and ignorance are the most effective way of bringing change, and books are the best vehicle for doing this.
