Signs Books

I enjoy having a yearly horoscope book and this is by far the best publication I've found.

I'm a deaf myself and use sign language to communicate. The sign illustrations are fantastic. Very accurate.

Thank goodness it is a practical manual. I can't imagine how a theoretical manual would read; interesting no doubt. Since the emphasis is on common sense, I am going to take a higher view that is an improving book and not simply another crypto anti-Fabian tract: one designed to break the power of encroaching trade-unionism (however sound an idea that might have been at the time). I am stuck at the similarities between this book and D.C. Beard's book, "The American Boy's Handy Book." Both are in the style of "what to do and how to do it." With the bouquet of DIY and home improvement infused in the American culture like an enormous teabag; Earl Grey of course - with maybe a double shot of bergamot, a gentleman of leisure would no doubt profit from improving the shining moments of directed perusal through the pages of this small tome if they could only rouse themselves to take the opportunity for self-improvement. The instructions of painting in oil and distemper were eyebrow-raising to say the least. One could only wonder of reaction of the late Victorians and early Edwardians as they read this book. What would Lord Baden Powell think?

I cannot believe this book is out-of-print. I have used it so much that I need a new one. I used to write horoscopes for a college newspaper and this was my astrological Bible. It is easy to use for reference and leaves out no possible aspect that one's chart can encounter. It is all about transits - what events can be predicted when a planet is alligned or aspected with another transiting planet, or one in your natal chart. It also explains what events transiting planets in each of your natal houses may bring. This book is an absolute must for any practicing astrologer.

Violence in schools has made big headlines and forced us all to ask questions. Media and politicians have focused on gun control, Richard Panzer dehypes the primary causes of violence in a straight forward way. On top of his list of preventative measures is the need for fathers to be in the home. He sites studies to make his points, so the book is more fact based rather than politicaly correct, which to me is refreshing alternative. I also liked what he said about media literacy. Clearly teens do not understand the "Hollywood spin" on everything and teens need education and tools so they evaluate what they are seeing. This is a serious heads up on what we can do to prevent the death toll.

Very well written and beautifully illustrated. Sign language alphabet included in the back. Helps to spark discussions with your child on deafness and sign language.

This is one of the finest books ever written about British pubs and their tradional outdoor sign art. The author, Paul Corballis, nimbly guides the reader through the history of pub signs and the book is chock full of entertaining color illustrations and photographs.

I am 3 years old and we picked up this book from the Bel Air Supermarket. It is very colorful and has a lot of fun. It shows the water kettle boiling with a "Shree" sound and others. I like it.

Funny and very accurate-more or less; suitable for ages maybe 17 and up only as contains Doing IT references and mildly rude words!

I really like the way this dictionary is setup. You get a definition, a picture showing the sign and an operational description of the sign.
