I ordered the Tony Buzan mind mapping book a few days ago, but it just shipped last night from Amazon.com, so any mapping I've done thus far has been from three books that mention mind mapping in passing (one on how to think like Leonardo Da Vinco, the PhotoReading, and the Natural Brilliance book). In addition, I checked out the website AlexK posted a few days ago, and although it is helpfuil, it is certainly not all-encompassing. The multi-colored pen is definitely what I need to get, especially for more complex topics like American History, where using only two colors starts making everything look very confusing. I've got to make a trip to my local Pearl...
