I just purchased a 1919 copy of the Anniversary Edition for about $3 and couldn't pass it up. I've never tried shorthand before, but I can remember my grandmother writing out grocery lists and such with it. Since all of you have MUCH more experience in this than I do, do you think that it's crazy for me to try to teach myself shorthand out of this copy? Yes, I know that the editions have improved over the years, but I think there's something interesting about learning out of such an old book. Any thoughts?
