The best memory book and so cheap!

|
I've bought a couple of memory books from various authors including a few from Dominic O'Brien. I agree with the other reviewer this book gives you all the techniques you'll ever need to improve your memory. I also agree that Dominic is the best teacher on memory techniques because he emphasises the importance of location as well as association and imagination. The book is also beautifully designed and would make a wonderful gift. At £4.49 I'll take two!

Summed up in one
|
Unlike all the other books by O'brien, this one has every single memory technique of his. It's odd this has received no reviews, clearly being the best book of the lot.
Every other one of O'Brien's books are very clearly the same material used over and over again. In short, memory is very subjective, so it is hard to objectively say if this book will be easy to use, simply that it did for me and and as a student has reduced things like revision massively in ease and time.
In other words, Dominic when he wants to be appears to be the best memory teacher there is, and being his best book, this should be the only one you need. However, I should warn, clearly to make up '52' he has included some truly awful ones (only a few) which he must have known no-one would try when writing (I am particularly thinking about the one about films).
