It is a delight finding the Palmer Method Penmanship Business Writing Series of Self-Teaching Lessons from 1915. 

Recently I have been realizing I need to pay more attention to my cursive handwriting.  

HowToBooks on Etsy has taken the time to scan and make it available is great! 

The downloadable Printable pdf contains 146 lessons and 97 pages. It sells for $3.99. The “scarce book is included in our special Rare Books Recycled Series.” 

Furthermore, this was fascinating to read about why it is made available in their selection.

“In the interest of creating a more extensive selection of rare historical books, we have chosen to Digitize this title even though it may possibly have occasional imperfections such as missing and blurred pages, missing text, poor pictures, markings, dark backgrounds and other Digitizing issues beyond our control.”
