At 39, and the second time around at taking shorthand (orig. took in high school in 1978) this book adds to the learning process and supplies help in several areas of brief forms, phrases and it greatly necessary when transcribing someone elses shorthand.

How we did without it before is unknown!

It felt wonderful after many years to be making the Gregg characters again! This is a GREAT little book! If I could make one wish, though, I'd wish for the "Short Forms" and some examples of words used in sentences, or perhaps even illustrative dictation. But it's good to know that Gregg is still out there, making a difference.

These books were in great condition.. bought 2 from different sellers and both were pristine. I recently reconnected with a friend who I went to Moser Secretarial School, with (in the early 70's) when shorthand was a skill for what we now call Administrative Assistants. I was amazed at how much we could remember and wanted a source to help me with the parts that weren't so clear in my head. This book was the answer. The words are in alphabetical order and other parts for abbreviations(including some "brief forms") and goverment titles, frequently used phrases. I gave it 4 stars because I wish the words were on lined paper because it matters where you start and position it on the line order for it to be correct and readable.

I studied Gregg shortand for two years in high school. Additionally, upon my first full-time secretarial job, I used shorthand very much in the first year. Since that time, however, 25 years has passed. As I continue to work as an office assistant, I am often called upon to take notes at meetings. Over the years, my memory of shorthand has faded. Therefore, I am relying on books such as this to refresh my memory so that my note-taking is simplified.
