Anyone know where I can find an online version of the Gregg Manual Simplified? I’m interested, but not interested in paying big Canadian bucks for a book (I’m only 15). If not available online, can anyone scan it?
Thanks,
L33t.

It is not available online because it is currently under copyright and still printed by McGraw-Hill.
However, the more advanced Anniversary version, published 20 years before it, is fully and freely available at my Web site, http://gregg.angelfishy.net/ in PDF format. Also there is the Second Edition, published 13 years prior there.
Do not be afraid of a more difficult version if you do not wish to spend money for a simplified version. 🙂
(Else, you could just scope out some antique book stores).
I've seen it in E-bay as cheap as $1.00.
Ah. Missed the copyright issue. Then again, I'm only a teen () interested in shorthand (). I'll see if I can get one of my brothers to help me… L33t.
Mr S: It's $25 CAD at our national retailer. L33t: you could ask at your library for a copy — the Toronto Public Library system has a number of copies of Diamond Jubilee Series, and it looks like one copy of the Simplified Manual. Failing that, ask your local or school librarian for an interlibrary loan — in Canada the loans are usually free of charge, and I'm sure that there must be a copy of the manual in Montreal or the Eastern Townships. http://www.abebooks.ca has a few copies for under $5.00 USD. Don't you have a rich aunt or something?
Just go buy one, you know you want to. It's only like $15 to $20 at Barns & Nobles or Wal-Mart. That's like, what, a movie ticket these days? Just kidding! (…but it really is) __________________________ Praise the Lord, I saw the light line!
I think it's totally cool that you're 15 and interested in Gregg. If you really want, I could send you one of my spare copies–at no charge. Brian
So you say…How would you send it?
In response to the last message: how WOULD you send it? And also, I'll think about taking up Anniversary. I like challenges. And also the fact that we don't say "I am in receipt of your esteemed favour on the 4th inst. [from the angelfishy site]" Who'd say that these days?
Guilty as charged.
