Extremely useful

I used most of the techniques here to help me through college and my MBA. I didn't use all his ideas, but what I used was great !!! I always felt sorry for the students who had no short hand method. Every student needs some method. I have not come accross a better one. Teachers were always talking way too fast for most of us students - any shorthand method is an enormous help. Notescript does not use any strange characters or symbols. Once you learn it, it's very natural. I can not believe this book is out of print !!!

Notescript is far superior to "Personal Shorthand"

The principles are simple: easily remembered 1-4 character symbols for the 100 most common words & abbreviation rules for the rest: mostly omission of vowels. Thus: "/" for "and" and "\" for "the" (follows the word shape); "tt" for "that" & "ts" for "this." He showed how to adapt the system to the typewriter. Today I use it on the Palm Pilot keyboards. I echo the other reviewers: BRNG IT BCK!

This note-taking technique helped me get through law school.

Notescript was an easy to learn, very effective technique of "short-hand for the masses!" This note-taking technique helped me get through law school. I was able to quickly write down not only the important things, but also some of the other statements that helped "color" the lectures. Now, I have a daughter entering high school. It seems a shame that this technique may no longer be available.

very good

I think it should go back into print. I hate to think his technique is lost
