Joe,
I did not intend any disregard to Buzan. I have all of his books. I even got them first. I came upon the Nancy Margulies comic book lastly. Until i had found the comic book, i had intended to follow the Buzan book.
I have for a very long time on this forum encouraged people to just go to B&N & enjoy the many MMs in that book. I have never seen a post by anyone saying that it was a terrific book. On another forum, a person purchased that book on my glowing recommendation & then said it was just too confusing to get anything out of it.
The one thing that the Margulies books, there are 2 of them, do is to give all kinds of easy diagrams for drawing. I can't draw
But, after using her two books, i can draw faces and all kinds of things quickly easily and it's just such a confidence building experience that children and adults who are timid about drawing will take to it quickly. I spent hours drawing all kinds of things w/ her help.
Plus the MM in her two books are SOOOOO wonderful and when i compared them to the Buzan MMB, i just had to put it off to the side. The only 2 pages i'm using are: the one page where he shows stagnant MMs and the one where he shows how to break up a very unhappy afternoon.
Andy, the one is Mapping Inner Space and the comic book, i forget the correct title. I'll get it to you Monday.
I treasure the Buzan books.
I value the Wycoff book
I delight in the Margulies book...that back cover has delighted me endlessly...really you can learn MMing from the back cover alone....i'm serious
