After having learned and used Pitman shorthand since the 1950's, it was great to be able to see if I am still making the strokes correctly. I'm going to enjoy going through the exercises and possibly learning something new.
Having been able to secure this course book from 1924 through Amazon has been a great surprise.

I purchased this lovely book, new. Originally published in 1924, it is set out as a simple to follow, very well explained and encouraging book,in large print, with lots of work exercises and examples and reading matter in shorthand. The preface, foreword and introduction alone are not over long and most encouraging, and well written. This book has a lost quality of books of the time, whereby the writer of the book sought to engage directly with the reader. No wonder books were so special to people at that time. Love it! If you buy this book, I am sure you will not hesitate to work through it. The same publishers have listed a huge variety of subjects of other books that they publish, on the back cover - anything from Yoga to Theology, Self-Help books to Architecture.
