The Deduction Guide Paperback – August 5, 2014

Wonderfully concise and direct, with extensive Resources and References to both lend credibility and encourage further exploration into this fascinating discipline. (As the back of the book indicates, this guide is not for the more practiced observer so much as the aspirational beginner.) The conversational tone (and perhaps a grammatical error or two) may take devout literary scholars a few pages to adapt to, but Ms Blackwood knows what she is talking about and the approachability of the text only proves to be an asset when one attempts to put the techniques into practice. Overall I can easily recommend this volume to anyone interested in learning more about the world around them and desiring to experience it more fully.

I've been studying this topic for the past few years now and I've written in way too many journals of all the information I've gathered and it seems you pulled all of the basics out into one well written and organized book. I couldn't have made it better if I tried. By the way, "What everybody is saying" is a fantastic book to read if you want to learn more about increasing your observational capabilities, which the author of this book suggests as well

There are useful links and techniques written in the book, otherwise just filling up pages so this book can reach the bookshelves. Overall , genuine specially teaching mediation that leads to mind palace, for those who already knew about psychologist might be interested.

Three stars because the book is short and simple, the contents you could find online or off of a YouTube video. With that said, it's a well organized and more practical review on the deduction. Or induction, if you're picky.

I almost need a magnifying glass to read it

This book was awesome. Learned a lot and it’s a easy & Interesting read. Wish it was longer. I would definitely recommend if you’re into reading people.

Basically what the title says - this is an EXCELLENT basic introduction to deduction. Explains things very well, uses examples, etc.!

Pretty good - nice size - easy to carry in pocket or purse! Most of the material has appeared in one form or another in other tomes, but the pocket size makes it fun to carry and read while waiting . . . .

A short book which gives a basic introduction to the science of deduction. It achieves the objectives and most readers would want to read and understand more about the topic

Se volete capire alcuni trucchi dì Sherlock è indispensabile

cool

This is an excellent guide on how to read the world around. It's a quite small so it's easy to carry around in a small bag or a large pocket, in case you want to whip it out to aid you in your Holmesian deductions and quick-thinking about town. The book refers to Sherlock Holmes stories and is serious whilst still being engaging. I would recommend this book to anybody who wants a quick, witty and enjoyable read with a practical (by practical I mean it really helps you to show off) side. If you finish this book and want something more hardcore, I would recommend 'Mastermind' by Maria Konnikova.

Interesting book
