Go to your nearby public library and empty the shelves of all ASL text books. That's what I do (mostly) anyways.

Videos are clearer than books. Even the best ASL dictionary can't describe some signs well enough to be understood. They may show the basic handshape, but not the movement or facial expressions properly. The Bravo Family videos are excellent for beginners and so is ASLPro.com Home. It's an online ASL dictionary. I'd give you a few more recommendations, but my stuff is in storage and I can't remmy names.
