Review: The book is old but a classic. I've been using it for almost 4 months and my typing speed is already 45 words per minute. It's very concise and to the point. Review: I used a similar book when I was learning to type on a manual typewriter 30 years ago! This was adapted for electric typewriters and even mentions word processors, so it has very slight modifications. This is not "fun" or "entertaining" like some of the typing programs out there, but I wanted my 9 and 6 year olds to learn to touch type the way I did. I put a piece of paper over the computer screen so the kids can't see what they are typing and used a black marker to cover the letters on the keyboard. I wanted to buy a new, inexpensive keyboard to blacken but my husband said to just color our keyboard in. I can type with my eyes closed (98 wpm the last time I tested in 1982) so I wasn't worried about finding the keys later. My kids have always been impressed with my keyboarding skill so they are motivated to learn so they can type like me. Since they know that I learned in a similar fashion they don't seem bothered that there are no pirate ships or fun games to motivate them. Their motivation is their desire to touch type, quickly. This is below low-tech, all the way down to no-tech. It is also incredibly inexpensive. I thought I paid $9.00 but it is now $7.38 which may be what I paid for it. I didn't have to worry about software compatibility, glitches in the program and keyboard skins that didn't fit....some of the myriad problems I had read about when researching a typing program for my children. You need absolutely nothing else. I would love to have a real typewriter for them to learn on, and a throw away keyboard that they could use just to practice strokes would be nice, but we are doing fine without it and my investment is less than $10.00 so you can't be the price. The program has been very simple for my 9 year old. My 6 year old's hands are too small so we will wait a couple of years for him to try again. Any old style typist, secretary, transcriber, etc. will tell you that to improve speed and accuracy you just need repitition. In the old days, after learning where home keys were and what fingers were responsible for which letter you just drilled words and paragraphs for an hour or more a day, days on end, until you achieved the results you wanted. Repition, repitition, repetition. This book will give you the basic tools, and some drills but basically, as soon as you or your children know where to put your fingers, you just need to practice for a couple of months and you will get the results you want. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (284) | | Dimensions | 20.8 x 0.5 x 27.2 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0399515291 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0399515293 | | Item weight | 159 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 80 pages | | Publication date | 19 April 1989 | | Publisher | TarcherPerigee | | Reading age | 18 years and up | ## Images ![Touch Typing in Ten Lessons: The Famous Ben'Ary Method -- The Shortest Complete Home-Study Course in the Fundamentals of Touch Typing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KptA3QQdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***6 on 25 May 2024* The book is old but a classic.
