1936 Gregg Shorthand manual

Description

This is cool, vintage shorthand manual. Officially called "Gregg Shorthand, Manual for the Functional Method Part Two" this book was written by Louis A. Leslie, C.S.R. and published by The Gregg Publishing Company in 1936.

More importantly the pages are filled with strange loopy symbols. It looks like another language (I guess it is!). Most pages are covered by shorthand with only a few chapter headings to orientate yourself by. . . though the last 100 or so pages are transcripts of the "lessons."

This treasure even comes with a little slip of paper that says "evening schedule September classes" left there by a shorthand student of years past.

This books is about 300 pages, measures about 5x7 inches, and is good vintage shape with nice tight binding. I do see wear on the cover's corners, and one page has a portion of the shorthand traced over - like the owner was practicing. (I only saw one page like this, but I didn't go though each one, just FYI.)

It makes me wonder if anyone actually uses shorthand anymore? You could of course use it for your art and craft projects since it is a great little source of ephemera, or you could take some time and learn stenography.
