I'm still re-reading the book before I do a chapter-by-chapter breakdown.
***

Last week I went to the Toronto Reference Library where they have a physical copy of the book.

The e-book version I bought appears to be a copy of another derived copy of the book. Some of the headings are missing, and there is a consistent change in punctuation style--from emphasis dashes to simple commas--that really becomes noticeable starting in Chapter 5. Otherwise, spelling has been retained, and I haven't seen any paragraphs missing, although some have been merged in the e-book.

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.
