For people who want to know the BSL sign for particular subjects, this is a good source, though some may prefer the online resources where people can see a video. But this dictionary also has a detailed explanation for the structural elements of BSL such as facial expressions, lips, hand shapes and signifiers. It is therefore particularly useful for people trying to pick up a more meaningful understanding of BSL, though of course it will provide the more casual user with an authentic idea of the specific BSL sign they are trying to find, which is structured like a dictionary. Another useful feature is that the Appendices collect signs into themes such as Greetings, Weather, Family and copies are permitted to be taken.
It is important to realise that this is an extensive resource that does not download onto Kindle devices such as paperwhite, let alone earlier models. I needed to contact Amazon about this. It runs OK on a PC and laptop, and on more modern tablets and phones with large capacity.

Amazing! I’ve learned so much in 2 weeks from this book. I’m refreshing my BSL after a 57yr gap! I’ve met a new freind who struggles with speech and this book is bringing us together in communication. Thank you.

This is a very good beginners’ dictionary for BSL learners. BUT I just bought a Kindle Scribe and the book doesn’t work on it!
