This well-preserved third edition of “Shorthand Dictation Studies” by Bowman-Oliverio is a valuable resource for students and practitioners of shorthand, a once-ubiquitous skill that has largely fallen out of favor in the modern era. Published in 1966, this volume represents a snapshot of a bygone era when shorthand was a crucial tool for secretaries, journalists, and anyone who needed to rapidly transcribe spoken words.
While the art of shorthand may seem antiquated today, this book serves as a fascinating time capsule, offering insights into the techniques and methodologies employed by previous generations of stenographers. The wear on the hardcover and spine is a testament to its practical use, likely by a dedicated student or professional honing their shorthand skills. Despite its age, the clean pages and secure binding indicate that this copy has been well-cared for, making it an attractive addition to the collection of any enthusiast of vintage office equipment, historical writing systems, or the evolution of communication technologies.
