2.0 out of 5 stars No experience with shorthand? This book is not for you., April 22, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Gregg Shorthand: Dictation and Transcription (Hardcover)

Due to a lack of shorthand classes in my area, I decided to buy this book and teach myself. I read the warnings that this book is not recommended for beginners, but I've taught myself many other skills in the past and figured learning shorthand would be challenging, but possible. When I received the book, I realized that the author assumes you've already read Basic Principles. There are no explanations for what shorthand is, how it originated, or which tools are needed to get started, and I was expecting to see at least a couple of pages covering these topics. I was also disappointed that there are no explanations for any of the material covered in the chapters and that there doesn't seem to be answers for any of the transcription exercises. I returned this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A review for GREGG's Shorthand: Dictation and Transcription, March 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Gregg Shorthand: Dictation and Transcription (Hardcover)

This book is great and all, the only problem is, you have to make sure you know the words in shorthand already. This book doesn't waste any time and goes straight to the transcription, but that may not be so good for new users. Other than that, this book is great and really goes indepth with the way to transcipt your shorthand notes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learning Gregg Shorthand, June 11, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Gregg Shorthand: Diamond Jubilee (Diamond Jubilee Series) (Hardcover)

This book is VERY good for learning Gregg shorthand. It shows the forms clearly and has lists of brief forms. The sentences that are written in shorthand in the front of the book are written in English in the back for easy decoding. It explains shorthand very well, and is an all-around great book for learning to write in shorthand.
