With my book available online for home purchase, Tellwell Publishing is now setting it up for database distribution. While I patiently wait for Smashwords assessment of My ASL Dictionary for their catalog, the hand sign for this glossary of words. Created early in 2014 because a Dictionary without the word the Dictionary would be ridiculous, a cartoon of Noah Webster (of Webster’s Dictionary fame) illustrates the ASL hand sign for DICTIONARY.
The tips of the thumb and forefinger of the D hand lightly brush upwards twice on the heel of the opposite palm in a circular motion, like turning the pages of a book.
Similar to the handsign for PAGE and PAPER.

When Smashwords adds My ASL Dictionary to its extensive catalog, it will be available for both libraries and schools. Every Author’s Dream.
A funny story about my book’s publication with Tellwell Talent. Working with the project team on the book’s cover, I discovered the artwork I had sent had misspelled Dictionary as Dictonary! How embarrassing! Even worse, as the cover was an image, not text, the editors also missed it. Thank goodness I caught this mistake before the book’s release, as a typo on the cover could make or break a book before it even begins.
