Thirded. It's nearly impossible to find a definitive guide on how to do memory palaces.

Possibly stupid question: didn't Giordano Bruno write the go-to guide for that?

Yeah, in Latin. I don't think it's been translated to English, and it's somewhat suspect now, considering it's centuries old and was part of Bruno's obsession with the occult.

This might do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Memory

I've seen it already. As far as I know it was only history, do you know otherwise?

There's this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonwalking_with_Einstein

Again, not a guide.

No, it pretty much is. It's also got other stuff too is all.

Those are great books. The Art of Memory covers the history of memory techniques. Moonwalking with Einstein is more about the culture of the memorization scene than the techniques. I keep a list of practical books over here.
