John Gregg Discusses Rare Gregg Shorthand Books-1-1922
Author: John Gregg
Year: 1922
John Gregg discussed rare Gregg Shorthand books and magazines in the Willis-Byrom Club Bulletin , January 1922, Volume 3, Number 5. The Willis-Byrom Club was a group of shorthand collectors based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Gregg's article was titled "Light-Line Phonography" and "Gregg Shorthand." Some Bibliographical Notes. Gregg went into great detail about why certain Gregg Shorthand books and magazines were so rare. The main reasons were: -Limited press runs. -Cheap creation of flimsy copies that fell apart. -Creation of defective copies that could not be sold. -Loss of book plates and book copies during the January 1900 fire in Gregg's Chicago offices. Gregg also mentioned that each US printing of Gregg's 1893 and 1898 shorthand manual was labeled with an edition number through the 42nd edition. Each edition was actually a new print run with possible changes to some of the book plates. -Editions 1 through 6 were for printings of the 1893 shorthand manual through 1897. -Editions 7 through 42 were for printings of the 1898 shorthand manual from 1898 through 1902. -The shorthand manual stopped using edition numbers after the 42nd edition.
