The sign for "book" uses "flat" hands.
BOOK (use a double motion)
Sample sentence: "What is your favorite book?"
= "YOUR FAVORITE BOOK, what-NAME?"
Notes:
In the sentence example above, I use an almost imperceptible second movement on the sign BOOK.Most of the time you can just open the hands once and people will know that you are referring to a book. Technically, the sign BOOK is a noun/verb pair. If you use a double motion it means book. If you use a single motion it means "open book." If you reverse the motion by starting with the hands open and then closing them, it means "close the book" or "close your books."
