People have recently been asking to see digital copies of the various Preanniversary Gregg Shorthand manuals.
I have included Internet Archive links to digital copies of each manual from 1888 through 1916 at the bottom of this post.
Please note:
- The link to the 1888 manual published in the UK only includes Part 1-The Phonetic Handwriting. It does not include Part 2-The Reporters’ Handbook, which is difficult to locate as a digital copy online.
- The link to the 1893 manual only includes Part 1-The Elements. It does not include Part 2-The Reporting Style. You can look on Google books and find a digital book that combines both parts from an 1895 printing.
- If you are very resourceful, you can find digital copies of several different printings of the 1898, 1902, and 1916 manuals online.
Here are Internet Archive links to each manual:
