Read Better, Read Faster: A new Approach to efficient reading (Algunos subrayados)

Paper work and reading matter are threatening to engulf modern society. People in every walk of life find it necessary not only to cope with their professional papers, and to follow their ‘trade interest’, but to absorb the increasing daily and weekly rounds of newspapers, magazines, periodicals and books. Expanding knowledge means more to read and less time in which to do it.
Read Better, Read Faster, specially commissioned for Pelicans, is designed to meet the urgent need for a scientific approach to the problem of absorbing and retaining written information faster. Two widely experienced contemporary teachers present the different techniques and strategies by which anyone can attain maximum efficiency in any particular case. They show that there are skills that can be developed, and offer the reader a complete graded course of exercises, with answers and a graph off which he can test his progress.
