Publisher Comments:

Best known as the Green Books, the American Sign Language books provide teachers and students of American Sign Language (ASL) with the complete means for learning about the culture, community, and the native language of Deaf people. A group of 15 ASL teachers and linguists reviewed all five books to ensure that they were accurate and easy to comprehend. This volume of the American Sign Language series explains in depth the grammar and structure of ASL while also presenting a description of the Deaf community in the United States. Written for teachers with minimal training in linguistics, it includes many illustrations, examples, and dialogues that also focus on specific aspects of the Deaf community.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 447-456) and index.

Since American Sign Language is a visual language it's one of those things you kind of have to really see to appreciate, and this book is probably best used in a class setting. That said it is one of the best, and really helps in a natural way to get a feel for the grammar and flow of this beautiful language. I would definitly reccomed it.
