I've got the 1965 version (7th ed.). Personal data of Mr. William E. Glass, age 20. 5'11" as well. But instead of Fresh Ribbon's brunette, I've got a blonde, and one of the exercises tucked within the pages. And, while yours has the pics of individual typewriters, mine more covers manuals vs electrics. I'll have top post pictures... I agree with Matt--these are awesome.
That is pretty interesting stuff. I can't say that I have set my desk up "properly", nor have a ran through the proper excercises for choosing the correct typewriter. Dang it.
I'll do a bit here and there from the book, but my HS typing teacher must have learned this way as I get flashbacks reading it. Inserting the paper especially. This book even gives finger calisthenics I'll have to post soon.
This is awesome!

I got such a kick out of the comments on the Fresh Ribbon post!
