Diamond Jubilee for Colleges series

GeneralLee15 November 20245

In the original series of Gregg Shorthand for Colleges, Diamond Jubilee (1963-1965), was there a volume for “Transcription for Colleges”?

I have Gregg Shorthand for Colleges, Diamond Jubilee Series, volume one (1963), Gregg Shorthand for Colleges, Diamond Jubilee Series, volume two (1965), and Gregg Speed Building for Colleges, Diamond Jubilee Series (1965).

But I don’t have, and have never seen, Gregg Transcription for Colleges in that original Diamond Jubilee set. I can’t find any evidence of it on line.

The second edition of Gregg Shorthand for Colleges, Diamond Jubilee Series, had a 4th volume, Gregg Shorthand for Colleges: Transcription. But I’m curious about the original Diamond Jubilee texts.
