Immense Knowledge Condensed By Jody (New York, NY)
This is a great little book to carry around with you in your bag and refer to on multiple occasions. For that reminder or inspiration, there are invaluable tips here for skill improvement. Give this book to a graduate or as a back to school gift. The information is easily digestible - broken out into small pieces, only a few pages short. Read over and over, imprint it onto your brain and then follow the advice within.

Gets to the point By Oliver Demille (Cedar City, Utah)
Excellent book. This is a good follow-up to Coyle's book The Talent Code. This one centers on how to make the talent code come alive. It is short, to the point, and powerful. Good for someone who doesn't want to read a ton but wants a hard-hitting, specific plan for being better at study, practice or gaining skills, or as a more focused approach for those who liked the original.

Talent is WhatYou Make of It By D. Buxman (Pueblo, CO United States)
If you think that talent is something you either have or you don't, this book will be worth the short time it takes to read it. The Little Book of Talent contains dozens of practical tips for developing your talents in any area you choose from athletics to business and academics. I really like the format of these books. They don't waste your time with useless filler, but they are engagingly written. If you don't find at least a dozen tips that you can use in this book, you just aren't paying attention.
