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.

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.

Again, not a guide.

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