Today, I put a color scan of the 1902 Gregg Shorthand Phrase Book on the Internet Archive. It matches the 1902 Preanniversary Gregg Shorthand manual. It was first published in 1902. This book was sold by Gregg until 1924 when it was replaced by a later version that matched the 1916 Gregg Shorthand Manual.
This color scan was created from a clean copy of this book with shorthand plates that are not faded. This tiny book measures 3.5” x 5”. This copy was printed in 1904.
This small book was very difficult to work with. It is bound very tightly, and several pages do not open flat. I was not able to put it on a scanner without destroying the book. I had to use a camera to take a screenshot of each page.
I haven’t seen any other scan of this 1902 phrase book online. This scan is not the greatest quality. I’m on the lookout for a cheap copy of this book with shorthand plates that are not faded. Then I can take apart the binding and use the scanner. At some point, if I find a cheap copy, I will redo it.
