Today, I put a new color scan of the 1903 Preanniversary first version of Letters From a Self-Made Merchant To His Son in Gregg Shorthand on the Internet Archive.
This is the first version of Letters From a Self-Made Merchant To His Son in Gregg Shorthand. This book was first published in 1903. It matches the 1902 Preanniversary Gregg Shorthand Manual.
This is new high-resolution color scan that was made from a source book that does not have faded shorthand plates. The other scan of this book placed on the Internet Archive in 2008 by a university is a low-resolution scan taken from a book with faded shorthand plates. It used early PDF technology. In some PDF readers, two of the pages with shorthand plates in that 2008 scan appear as blank pages.
Please note that several unnumbered blank pages were used before or after illustrations and title pages in the original 1903 Gregg Shorthand book. Eight of these blank pages are included in this scan to maintain the page numbering.
