Don't bother
For 30 dollars I thought i'd get something useful out of this book. No deal there. Do a web search on "mnemonics" and "roman rooms". I'm sure you can find just as much info on the web for free as you can in this overpriced book. Oh and the "Brain Supercharger" CD? Give me a break.If you want to be a faster reader and retain what you read, look at Mortimer J. Adler's "How to Read a Book".
If you want a CD to hypnotize you, I'd check out Barrie Konicov

BUYER BEWARE
If you're considering buying this book, don't. Doing a quick web search of the author's name, I found the e-text of a complaint which the Federal Trade Commission brought against Dane Spotts for false advertising. Many of his other products, such as quick fat-burning pills and and quick mind enhancers, were in the complaint. Particularly of note is the complaint that his company has not, in the past, honored its 30 day money back guarantee. Spotts' products seem to be little more than present day snake oil: dangerously false get-rich-quick schemes trying to capitalize on current fads and the general public's ignorance with no concern for product effectiveness or the buyer's safety and well-being. Dane Spotts needs to put out of business, as he obviously is a career charlatan. He has made his money playing upon people's insecurities and weaknesses. Don't let him do the same to you.

remember this one....
$..and it contains what is covered in a paperback for less ... elsewhere. A CD with Baroque music is just to give it the 'whizz-bang' feel. More marketing than depth. Look for O'brien, Hancock etc or, for the good ol' days go for Harry Lorayne - one the very early popularisers and it has all the content of this for under half the price. Similar Products
