Dive into mid-century secretarial history with this 1955 second edition of Gregg Dictation Simplified. This hardcover textbook was a critical link for students moving from basic theory to advanced speed building, featuring shorthand plates beautifully written by expert penman Charles Rader. Spanning 448 pages, this comprehensive guide was designed to strengthen shorthand construction power and transcription skills through thousands of practice outlines.
The book measures approximately 8" by 5" and is bound in a classic orange-tan and black linen cover. It is in good vintage condition with clean internal pages and a sturdy binding, though it lacks the original dust cover and includes previous owner's writing on the inside cover—a common hallmark of these well-used educational tools.

This item is vintage, over 70 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
