This classic work on memory, first published in 1943, is really two books in one!
The first part, The Mental Filing System, will teach you how to keep up to 100 things straight in your memory. This is taught in a clear, easy-to-understand manner, using many real-world examples of both the benefits of using the system, as well as the dangers of an untrained memory.
The author taught many of his memory courses in person, and this provides both value and a good knowledge of the questions you're likely to have.
The second part, How To Remember Names and Faces, deals in detail with the problem most of us face and would like to overcome. This section begins with an evaluation of how well you currently recall names and faces.
After the evaluation, you then learn how to lock both names and face effectively into your memory. Initially, you're given photographs of specific people with advice on how to remember the names and the details of their faces. As you progress, however, you meet more and more people, and will begin to rely on your own judgement, creativity and memory.
By the end of the exercises, you'll be able to recall the names of 35 people solely by looking at their faces! Even better, you'll have the confidence to start using this skill in the real world.
1st edition 1943, 143 pages.
