You'll find there are many people who learned to PhotoRead just using the book and the forum to get them over the hurdle.

How are you going with the 5-day test? Page 76 of the book. If you want to learn on your own that's one of the easier ways to do it.

For the folks who want to know the secret that fuels the system into working on any book fastest.

Ask.

"What is my purpose for reading this book? What information do I need from this book to reach my goal of..."

If you can't answer that question, dump the book. It's going to take ages to get anything out of it. You'll be traditionally reading it and about a week after you've read it if someone asks you about the book your answer will be "I don't know ", for 90% of the questions. No purpose = no results.
