Yeah - that does seem odd - 2 days to do the course? To do the 8 tapes, you need to sleep between each session to incubate the books you read. I haven't got the tapes, but I would have thought this would mean a minimum of 8 days.
Plus, I wouldn't have thought you would get success the first time you photoread. I know the few times I have tried using the techniques in the PR book, I haven't had success. Hence, me starting the thread in the first place...!
