Alan, I can honestly say that I have been waiting for this as well. ;-) Years of work finally produces a completed book! I can't even begin to tell the list how excited I am about it. It was truly a pleasure and honor working with Valerie on the book.

I wrote the instruction sections, but Adam provided the photos of himself for the instruction sections. I did the book layout and design, but without Adam's improved graphics of the enlarged symbols we would not have a book...so this was a true co-authorship.... > > Thank you, Adam, for your hard work.....I truly enjoyed working with you on this big project... > > And Alan...your copy will be in the postal mail tomorrow - smile- - > > Val ;-) > > > > ---------------------- > > > On Sep 4, 2011, at 3:10 PM, Valerie Sutton wrote: > >> SignWriting List >> September 4, 2011 >> >> ANNOUNCING! >> >> >> >> SignWriting Hand Symbols Manual >> by Valerie Sutton and Adam Frost >> >> The SignWriting Hand Symbols Manual is a thick 300 page, paperback, spiral bound book that devotes a full page to each of the 261 hand symbols of the International SignWriting Alphabet (ISWA 2010), used to write over 40 sign languages. >> >> Each page shows one handshape with 6 photos showing 6 different palm facings.
