I need to buy a Pre-Anniversary Shorthand Phrase Book but need to know how many numbered pages there are. Can anyone help please? There is a 1924 edition. The 1930 edition has 97 numbered pages. Thanks to all.

The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources. As the primary use for shorthand — business and legal recording — has waned in recent decades, we generally acclaim the skill as a hobby or personal tool. The purpose of the group is to promote the use of Gregg systems of shorthand by providing advice to beginners, support for students, and an association of users of this efficient, attractive, and enjoyable method of writing.

Hi there across the pond! As promised in our private correspondence I looked in all my seven phrase books and all are clearly Anniversary (1930) though I do think that number eight is lurking somewhere. I seem to remember seeing 1924alone in one of them, and if I remember correctly it was the same book. I suspect that the 1930 edition is the 1924 edition with an additional copyright but actually the same book since the Anniversary deletions would not directly effect phrasing. I'll keep looking though I do think that the changes in Simplified were the first to directly effect thwriting of brief forms and phrasing. I personally do not like the designation "Pre- Anniversary" for the foundational 1901 and 1916 materials. It would be like refering to later editions as "Gregg-Lite"! DOC
There were four editions of this book: 1902 and 1904 have 80 pages, and the 1924 and 1930 (Anniversary) editions have 97 pages.
