This is the most useful book on speed-reading I've found so far. It goes from the goals of reading (getting the main idea, getting specific details, overall perception) to specific techniques that help achieving those goals. This "goal - technique" approach is supported by numerous exercises. I find this approach much more useful and productive than blind acquisition of techniques with the broad ill-defined goal of reading faster that other speed-reading books (at least the ones I've run into) seem to concentrate on.
