Hello friends,

Have you evr heard of such a version? is ist common and how much money would it be worth about??
Thanks for any help

I can't see any value to it at all as few can read shorthand and it's been printed in English already. I don't think Hess knew or wrote Hitler's words down in shorthand either. Why this would even exist is a question?

How would someone in your library even use such a writing?

Why would you care how much it is worth if it is going to a museum?

Hi,
thanks for the replys.
Kursk, I askes about the money because that lady wanted something for it and I was not shue what I should give her. I have found out about it by now.
Kingtiger. For yoyr info the book Mein Kampf was done in normal writing , in shorthand and! in brail!! Hitler was pushing persons to learn shorthand for quite a bit and many notes were taken in shorthand in that time.
Thanks for your assistans.

Dirk, I understand it may have been done in all those formats, but of all you listed shorthand makes zero sense. Who would want to read it in that format? I honestly have no clue why it was even done in that format. To save space?
