13 new Gregg Shorthand books, including Alice in Wonderland, were on the list. This list contains books that the Illinois Department of Public Instruction added to their official book list after their 1918 list came out. The most conclusive evidence of the 1919 publication date is found in "Additional Illinois Official List of Text Books and Prices" (issued in 1919, printed in early 1920). Many Gregg books listed all available Gregg novels in the back section. This book is not listed on a book list page in any Gregg publication until 1919. This title did not appear on the 1918 July Publishers Weekly Textbook List or any earlier Publishers Weekly List. Here is some of the evidence: The Publishers Weekly Annual July Textbook List did not list this title in the Gregg Shorthand section until 1919. There is considerable evidence that indicates this book came out between March and May 1919. This conclusion was based on the printers code "D83" found on the verso of the title page. Some misguided book expert decided that Alice In Wonderland in Gregg Shorthand was published in 1915.
