Marion Richardson Handwriting was first published in 1935 and continued to be used in schools until the 1980s. It consists of five copy books, each with a different level of difficulty, and a teacher's book that explains the methods and materials to be used. You can download the copy books for free from this link: [Writing and Writing Patterns](https://archive.org/details/dli.ernet.54007.)

I only see the teacher's book at that link. Were the copy books elsewhere?

This seems very clearly a bot post. This is a non-sequitur to the other comment and the way it redescribes the context seems fishy and too artificial.

It is most certainly in sequence: Clarification of the 5+1 volumes and a link to the content for free right now - albeit nearly unusable quality scan - instead of a "backorder only" link to buy for $30.

This "you might be a bot" is going to be the next Red Scare or witch hunt (that the esteemed AI revolutionaries will deny any responsibility for). Just wait till the real bots learn to start saying that! [spiderman pointing gif]

I don't see any evidence that this is a bot post. It's the only post in the thread that actually points to scans of the Marion Richardson source materials mentioned in the parent comment.

I guess it doesn't matter now, since it's been flagged… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm trying my hardest to imagine someone making a bot that scours the Internet for discussions on handwriting only to post in the most succinct manner a resource that is very much on-topic.

[zellyn]

Right? So weird.

You can vouch for a flagged comment and if enough do it will become legitimzed.

[EdwardCoffin]

By vouch do you mean upvote?

I've taken a minute to skim the poster's recent comment history. None of them look at all like what I would expect from a bot.

It is a very bot level post, but the link goes to a real book (a scan so not that accessible) and it does at least give a bit of relevant summary on the topic to save a Google search (assuming you trust it). It could be better but I don’t totally hate it.

[EdwardCoffin]

I'm wondering what value you think has been lost through the book being a scan? Virtually all of the pages contain little more than handwriting, so a scan is the appropriate representation.
