This book is a progressive guide to shorthand that avoids overwhelming the reader with unnecessary detail. The author steers a pedagogical middle path by providing learners with enough theory to help them write shorthand but not so much theory that they lose sight of the practical goal of shorthand: writing fast enough to take dictation. The book emphasizes an innovative angle and direction of strokes system that allows beginners to memorize shorthand strokes more quickly and easily. It also introduces word signs and phrases early on, which is generally considered the most difficult part of learning shorthand. The author places shorthand in its historical and literary context, demonstrating how this book differs from other shorthand books and methodologies. Thematic depth is found not only in the efficient lessons in this book but also in the author's dedication to helping the reader understand the ideas behind shorthand and how to apply them to their own writing. This book is an excellent choice for someone who wants to learn shorthand but who may have been daunted by other books and methodologies.
