Hi

Photoreading is about broad patterns, not about reciting details out of a book. I saw Pete give a demonstration on TV where he actually gave detailed answers of a book or two after a few moments of photoreading--that didn't seem right to me. On the other hand, I have had telephone converse with Pete and he seems like a really straightforward guy. I'd hate to think he could be faking this kind of thing--in fact, I *don't* believe it, at least not at this time. I prefer to think that after working with it in a number of different ways over much time, that he found techniques to make photoreading patterns "click" very quickly.
As far as you are concerned Les Pauls, when you use photoreading, you are "filling in the blanks" of the book or article, so that when you want to use rapid reading and intuitively land at spots of interest to you, you are far more likely to do so, and in any case to quickly recognize if a spot is of interest or it is not.
I have found photoreading to be of most help when doing syntopic reading. Have you tried using Scheele's recipe for putting together different books to make a coherent report? It is *special*!!
Hope this perspective helps out,
Mike
