Chicanery,
I don't know, buddy. =(
Some people have done well with the book alone, I don't know if I personally could have, and a previous contributor Andy, bought the book, had problems, bought the course, then as the course was on the way to his house, he finally figured it out. Then the course got to his place, he gave it a listen, decided it didn't really help him (since he got it already) and returned the course.
So really, I don't know what would best work for you. Results vary SOOO much.
I *guess* I could recommend starting with the book and the Memory Optimzer paraliminal tape. This total will cost probably less than 60 bucks including the S&H. Then go on the forum and search for your questions in the archives, and if they haven't been answered yet, ask on the forum.
But if you have problems, you have to promise your friend Ramon and Uncle Pete Bisonnette that you won't give up, and perhaps try the course instead, when you get the money. The system does work great, but the book has a considerably lower success rate, and will take more work.
Hope to see you askin' away soon =)
