Buzans Mind Maps Review
Pro's for this book:

It is light, thin and relatively low costing.

It covers new and interesting material for those who don't know about the
small world of mind maps.

It is a good guide to how to mind map, and therefore organising yourself in a new and more constructive (in my opinion) fashion.


Con's:

It covers a lot of the same material twice, in what can only be an attempt to drone it into its readers mind, in a patronizing manner.

What Buzan covers in the 'entire' book (about 80 easily read pages) can really be covered in one well written chapter as part of something else.

I didn't see the colour coding and general design of the book, made much sense. A lot of colours, without much function.

Verdict:
In short I did find this manual helpful, but it is something that should be passed around through small circles of friends rather then bought and referenced.
