Speed Reading: How to Double (or Triple) Your Reading Speed in Just 1 Hour! - Justin Hammond

Habits takes days or even years' of practice to develop. This is one such book. Though the concept is simple, it takes time to apply it again and again to master it. There are many good books in the subject, this book won't classify itself extra ordinary but fairly concise and to the point. It talks of very few effective methodologies one can apply.

1. Not to vocalize
2. Not to regress
3. And read phrases or chunks instead of words

Also, talks about when not to overdo it. For example, it's ok to slowdown a bit when the subject matter is difficult, unfamiliar or skimming through is not entirely possible. Most importantly, the techniques need regular practice and enhanced reading habits to be successful.
