Best memory book for students?

First of all, I would like to say that this is one awesome site. At first I was skeptical, but then I realized how well your techniques really work. I do have a question though. I am a student and I'm wondering what book on memory you would recommend me, so that I can further improve my memory skills.
Doug's Reply: In my opinion the best memory improvement book for students is "Super Memory, Super Student: How to Raise Your Grades in 30 Days" by Harry Lorayne:
http://www.memory-improvement-tips.com/resources.html (2nd book on page)
It has a lot of specific examples and techniques for memorizing difficult subjects like math, biology, chemistry, history, etc.
You might also want to pick up and work through Lorayne's first book "The Memory Book" :
http://www.amazon.com/Memory-Book-Classic-Improving-School/dp/0345410025
Read through the reviews on Amazon. You'll see that many, many people have found his visualization methods effective.
Take his techniques seriously and practice them. They were a revelation for me, and they work!
