The GREGG Shorthand Manual Simplified (BUSINESS BOOKS)

I am glad I purchased this recently, as it's great for refreshing my mind on some of the rules of GREGG SHORTHAND SIMPLIFIED. I can still say I have the majority of this version in my mind - it very quickly comes back with the GREGG SHORTHAND MANUAL.

Absolutely delighted with my purchase. I have been looking for this book for ages. I lost my Gregg shorthand book a few years ago. Great book for learing speed writing. Excellent condition.

Easy to follow.

It is wonderful to still find this book available I learnt Gregg's shorthand over 45 years ago and it was so simple to get back into the flow of it. It is now a requirement of my job at the Auckland University in New Zealand to take notes again so this has been great to use again.Thanks a million.

Gregg is the easiest shorthand to learn and this manual excplains the best way. I recommend it to anyone wanting to brush up on the subject, or anyone who wants to start from scratch. Shorthand is so useful in the workplace as well as at home.

Gregg Shorthand Manual Simplified came up to expectations. I've been doing Gregg shorthand since 1948, and I'm glad to say I could read everything in the book, so no changes. Thankyou

I am very pleased with this book. It is leading me gently by the hand and I am getting on well with it.

I still have this book for over 10 years. I recommend this book as the first to absolute beginners.

great

After qualifying tier-1 of SSC Stenographer Examination, I had to prepare for the next stage which is Stenography skill test. After extensive research, I found out that two methods of Stenography are best:1. Pitman System2. Gregg SystemThe Pitman system is the most popular system among both teachers and students in India. When I started searching any institute for learning stenography, I found all of them were teaching Pitman and none of them were following Gregg system. The sad part was even without knowing anything about Gregg, they tend to make students afraid about learning it by saying "You should follow Pitman as everyone is doing the same otherwise you will get no help and you will be left out...". It was evident that they were taking side of Pitman system only to attract the student to enrol with them. As none of them were ready to teach Gregg system, I had to choose the path of self-learning.But why I was so stern in learning Gregg system only ? because Gregg system is very straight forward and requires very less effort as compared to Pitman system. After following few YouTube channels on both systems, I learned the basics of both so as I can distinguish their features in a better way. It was clear that there isn't any scope for the Gregg system being adopted by coaching institutes in near future. There are two reasons for that. First one, both teachers and students are afraid in learning and following something new here.Second reason is, Gregg is easier and requires less time to learn, it requires less number of hours for the tutor to spend on students, which means shorter duration course... which means less fees. The tougher the skill appears to students, the more they are willing to pay for the course.Now the challenge was getting study material for the Gregg system. The Youtube channels are insufficient and somewhat lack complete coverage of the system. If you want to learn from PDF, the PDF is available for only the old versions of this system which requires more effort than the Simplified version and has many unnecessary symbols. If you want to buy book, this is the only book available for the Simplified Gregg version on Amazon India .One thing that repels many is the price of the book. The Pitman book is available in just Rs.116 but this book is more than twelve times costlier. This is so because it is an imported book. I have attached image of the page where it is mentioned that this book was printed in USA. Price is not mentioned on the book, but the price is comparable to the cost of ordering this book from USA (price+shipping). Obviously the paper and print quality is best. The language used in the book is easy to understand and lessons are arranged in a very systematic structure.If someone has less time to learn Shorthand, this book is definitely useful for them.I bought the used version but the condition is like a new book.Last but not the least, The Delhi Book Store, Thanks for keeping stock of international books in both new and used conditions which is very helpful for students.

偶然、グレッグ式速記をネットで知り(これです→[・・・])、1人で練習していたんですが、unit 13くらいで頭が混乱し、挫折。でも折角ここまで頑張ったので諦めきれず、ネットで学校や書籍を探しましたがイマイチ情報が得れず… 唯一トライできるかもと思ったのがこの本でした。しかし、ここのレビューを見て解答があるやらないやら書かれていたので、アメリカのアマゾンのレビューをチェックすると1人の人が解答付いていないと言ってる… 他のサイトをチェックしても解答がなくて悩んでる人がいる…購入するのを相当悩みましたが、速記をもっと知りたいという思いで購入してみました。結論からいうと、楽しくて毎日練習しています。答えが付いていなくてもまだ(60ページ目)大丈夫です。分からない速記は、一つずつ分解してスペルを確認したり、文脈から想像したりしていると、なんとなく見えてきます。なので解答がないからってあんなに悩まなくても良かったと今は思います。グレッグ式速記にも色々種類があるのを知らずにトライした最初の速記は、この本と比べると私には数倍難しいかったです。書いてあること同じなんですが…速記に興味がある方に、この本は本当にオススメです。そしてもっとこの形式の関連本を買いたいです！

This book is delightfully clear and concise. You can learn Gregg shorthand in a very pleasant manner with a minimum of efforts. The lessons are just the right size (not too long but with enough subject matter to challenge you). I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn Gregg shorthand.

Book is in perfect condition and arrived on time. However, I did not read/notice the copyright date. I thought it was an updated book. It was 1955.
