This is one of the easiest books to learn typing from. Im a writer and I got tired of paying other people to type up my manuscripts for me at high prices. So I took matters into my own hands and looked around for a good typing book. There were several good ones among many, but this book has everything. It shows you how to sit properly, how to use all the keys on the board and not just the alphabet. The book is divided into lessons and I find this very helpful. What surprised me the most is how fast I learned how to type. It was amazing! Before I started this book, I had to look over all the board for a letter to type a simple sentence. After only 3 or 4 days of practice at about 3 hours a day, I began to notice greater coordination of my fingers and I was typing. Not fast, it was still slow, but what an improvement for a beginner. The book also has alphabetical sentences to increase your typing speed. These sentences contain every word in the alphabet. Not only did I learn how to type, but the success in mastering the keyboard, gave me the desire to continue working and I just breezed through the course. This is a classic typing book.

This is a great book for beginners. My husband, who is 95, wanted to learn how to type. I purchased this book for him and he found it very easy to follow, and guess what! He is typing paragraphs now. He is thrilled that he can now type correctly and is gaining speed each day. I am thrilled, because the book was so easy for him to follow. You have two extremely happy customers! We would highly recommend this book, and the shipper, because it came well before its anticipated arrival date, giving my husband a head start on his typing instructions. Thank you so much!
