Anniversary – Functional Method – Parts One and Two? I received both in the mail today and I don’t see it indicated.
On most of the other books that I now own (mostly Simplified) the plate writer is mentioned on the title page. Most of the Simplified seem to have been written by Mr. Rader. As Paul pointed out, Mr. Zoubek wrote one of the Simplified – Functional books (1st edition I believe)
In my very limited Gregg Shorthand journey, I have come to see the slight variations in style of the plate writers.
Just curious who did Anniversary – Functional Method. The writing looks like someone new and I’m curious 🙂
The plates were written by Mrs. Winifred Kenna Richmond. Read here and here.
Thank you Carlos.
Her shorthand writing is beautiful. My favorite so far.
Yes. Her writing has that nice "textbook" appearance. The plates in "Fundamental Drills" were also written by her and those are beautiful as well. Her style is worth emulating.
I agree. Her style is well worth emulating. Luckily, I will have Parts One and Two of FM Anni and Fundamental Drills to look at and copy.
I don't know how true is it, but I heard the plates for the FM Anni manual were dictated at 150 and not copied from print or shorthand outlines.
They don't look dictated to me. However, the plates of "Functional Method Dictation" have that "dictated" look. I believe some of the plates in "Gregg Dictation and Transcription" were dictated.
