If you have any spark of interest in ASL or language in general, this is a great read. Unfortunately, despite multiple efforts, I have no knowledge of ASL, but the history and development discussed here is fascinating. I would say there is not too much about the village being studied, but that aspect is used as a jumping off point to delve into discussion of language, both spoken and signed. Lots of amazing research and well written.
