This is a unique edition of "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" by Charles Dickens printed entirely in Gregg Shorthand. Presumed 1918 edition (there is no date of publication stated); The Gregg Publishing Company; New York, Chicago, San Francisco. With shorthand plates written by Winifred Kenna. The book is smaller in size - it measures 6 3/4" tall x 5" wide. From research, I believe this copy to be the first Gregg Shorthand publication from 1918, which was issued as a heavily abridged version of the story.
