Technically speaking, I spontaniously activated the first book I ever PhotoRead within minutes, as have many others PhotoReaders who started off by playing the dictionary game. I've also played it with a French dictionary with interesting success. Before I started learning the system, my first PhotoReading experience was Robert Grave's "The White Goddess," where suddenly I read and activated all at once a single page, which triggered recall of all the previous pages I had used regular reading on. This experience fascinated me, and I purchased PhotoReading Whole Mind System as soon as I was able to do so.
