Advantage of this book is to have been printed with page dimensions easily permitting to apply techniques of speed reading.

If you already roughly know these techniques, it might be used for further exercising. If you do not know them, you may use it when learning them. 

The core of this method is not to read each single word or line, but to visualise the page, to fly over it, and recomposing in your mind groups of words, their succession and, overall, their meaning.

The second half of the book goes beyond speed reading and deals with studying techniques, which actually are at the base of school success, or of school failures when one does not sufficiently master them.
