Hello All,

I had purchased the book PR by Paul Scheele and while the book did give several useful tidbits on reading skills, I was skeptical of the "photo" part.

I want to know what about PR is covered in the course that is not covered in the book.
Could anyone tell me about this??

Looking at all the testimonials, it certainly looks like the course is pretty good but the fact is the book is not very useful.

Regards,
blue_sky

The book has all the information. The only thing that I would say is missing is the 'guided experience' of Photoreading and the dictionary 'game'. The information that explains photoreading itself goes from page 40 to 52. The mental assessment of this experience cannot be compared to actually trying it out.

All the relevant information is is the book and a number of folks on this forum have learnt from the book.

I think Dana said it best when comparing book learning to learning with the taped course.

If you have the luxury of learning with the self-study course verses the guesswork and hit-n-miss with the how-to book alone, you will be many steps ahead. You're gonna master the system learning to do the techniques the correct way in the shortest amount of time, and with the most ease.

I know of a few people over the last six years of coaching PhotoReading who bought the how-to book, read it, understood it, applied it, and taught themselves to do it. Even though the how-to book explains the whole process in full detail, in reality it's tough to learn from just reading about it in the book.
