A List for those who want to go beyond DJS

I compiled a list of books which I'd heartily recommend as a basic library for anyone interested in making the switch to Anniversary or in learning Anniversary from scrattch::

Gregg Shorthand Manual (Anniversary Edition)
Gregg Speed Studies (Third Edition)
Gregg Speed Building for Colleges (1943)
Intensive Exercises in Shorthand Vocabulary Building (1928)
Gregg Shorthand Phrase Book (Anniversary Edition)
Gregg Reporting Shortcuts (1922)
Expert Shorthand Speed Course (1945)
Gregg Shorthand Dictionary (Anniversary Edition)

Other worthy books which provide lots of additional "new" and "review material are:

Gregg Shorthand Manual Functional Method Part 1 (1936)
Gregg Shorthand Manual Functional Method Part 2 (1936)
Functional Dictation (1937)

The last 3 volumes could easily be substituted for the Manual and Speed Studies from the first list.

All the volumes I named are frequently available at reasonable prices from eBay or Amazon resellers.

If Simplified is your preference:

Gregg Shorthand Manual Simplified Functional Method (Second Edition)
Gregg Dictation Simplified (Second Edition)
Gregg Transcription (Second Edition)
Phrases of Gregg Shorthand Simplified (1961)
Gregg Speed Building for Colleges, Simplified (1958)
Gregg Reporting Shortcuts (1959)
Expert Shorthand Speed Course Simplified (1951)
Gregg Shorthand Dictionary Simplified (1955)

Hope this list will be helpful to anyone seeking to venture a Gregg prior to DJS!
