Language in Hand : Why Sign Came Before Speech
Not quite what I was expecting, but I still learned a lot. I wanted to fill in gaps of my knowledge of ASL (and sign languages in general), so this seemed like a good start. I was expecting it to be an in-depth study of ASL, but it's really an intro to linguistics textbook that just happens to use ASL (and English) for the examples. I ended up skimming a lot of the content for this reason and just focusing on the examples.
Unusually, about half of this book is a standard textbook and the other half is a series of supplemental readings. There's also a very useful DVD with video examples. As someone already well-informed in linguistics, the supplemental readings were more interesting to me than the textbook itself.
