In this book, Pam and I have combined our more than 40 years of speed reading experience, both doing research and training others, with information gleaned from reading over 30 speed reading books and experience with over 10 speed reading software programs to come up with The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Speed Reading. Some just can’t figure out how it can really be done. Many envy the thought of being able to speed read.
Others might conjure up the vision of a finger zipping down the pages in record time while the other hand turns the pages.
