 Good content very bad printing quality May 19, 2008
It looks like an old hardcopy riprinted. The book has value per se but it looks and is very cheap (pages not cover)
 Highly recommended! May 1, 2008
This is an excellent book with so many effective, fun, and creative techniques to improving memorization of a huge variety of different types of information. This book has allowed me to memorize huge lists of items, long strings of random numbers, thousands of vocabulary words and definitions, and foreign language rules and vocabulary. I strongly recommend this book for anyone who is looking for effective, FUN techniques to improve memory! The writing is casual, and the book is an enjoyable read! This is one of my all-time favorite books.
Been a believer since 1979! March 28, 2008

I first saw these two on public TV in Los Angeles (channel 28) in 1979. They gave a simple list of ten words and asked you to remember them. You can always remember the first and last word and strange ones in the middle, but that was it. And then they wanted you to remember it in order -- backwards order! Then they gave their technique and had us remember the list again. It was so easy! The list is actually glass, ceiling, Eiffel Tower, drapes, roses, door, tree, elephant, street, ashtray. I had not recalled that list since about 1982 yet I pulled it out of my head just now and will remember it forever, just like pi to a few thousand places, every phone number every person I know ever had, every address, every car license plate, you name it. They make it so very fun. I only wish losing weight was so easy!
Most important book you could give a student January 9, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I went from nearly failing college to a solid 3.3 overall, 3.5 last 2 years, on a 4 point scale, working more than full time and going to school full time, with this book. 20 pages of method, the rest is application. I learned it in one night, during an all nighter where I also caught up from being 4 lessons behind in an intensive language course. I never had to do an all nighter again, and I could run circles around even those students who had spent time in country. I got all A's in my intensive language courses- a year in a term, 8 semester hours. THis is a book I give to all the students in my family, and mention to any student in school.
Classic Memory Fun... November 7, 2007
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a great book with fascinating memory skills (though quite basic after the first understanding of memory schemes). It is well worth the read from ages 10 to 30. After that your mind goes sorta numb and you should stick more with simple suduko and word searches.
