- More than 1,350 signs -- arranged alphabetically with directions on how to use each sign
- Detailed illustrations -- showing precise hand positions and exact movements
- Memory aids -- to assist in recalling how to make each sign
- Sample sentences -- to clarify grammatical usage
- Numbers -- from one to one million, including monetary signs
- Fingerspelling -- a vital tool for communicating words for which there are no signs, or for when the sign has not yet been learned
- Helpful hints -- suggestions and tips for easier signing
- A comprehensive index -- with all entries and their synonyms for easy cross-referencing
Authors Rod R. Butterworth and Mickey Flodin have written many widely used signing books, including
