WWA: Memory Culture (1903)

[jpc_w]

I looked at the Toronto Public Library's William Walker Atkinson selection, and the first book on the list was Memory Culture: The Science of Observing, Remembering, and Recalling.

Their copy looks like an actual copy of the 1903 book, available as part of the Arthur Conan Doyle special collection.

The Kindle version I found on Amazon claims "Yogi Ramacharaka" co-wrote it.

I'm interested in how it's different from Memory: How to Develop, Train and Use It, which came out 6 years later under WWA's real name.

I'm also interested and curious how he changed over six years' time (or if he changed significantly). Have you started reading yet? I also have a free pdf of Memory Culture, and debated which of the two to start with. I went with the newer one due to it being available on LibriVox, so I can listen while knitting, then go back and read for comprehension/review.

I've started reading it, and now that tax time is over I can get to posting on it.

I know there is no LibriVox of it. I'm hoping in the future the Toronto Library would
be agreeable to me reading the book into the LibriVox project.

That would be a helpful project also: putting more of WWA's work into LibriVox!
