Thanks, ordering the books now
Casanova's Memoirs has a section on his technique, he had the Bible memorized. I can't recall which volume it's in, but it may be the one with Voltaire.
Shit. Just read Dominic O'Brien, he is the GOAT of memorization. Although his system takes a while, it has great return.
2nding yates
derren browns "tricks of the mind" has a small section devoted to mnemonic methods

If you get the Yates also pick up her Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition (part of the same series that concludes with Theatre of the World) which is fantastic.
Memorize the Faith by Kevin Vost worked well for me. He has a couple different "Memorize This" books that are worth looking into.
The method of loci is shockingly easy. I've always considered myself to have a bad memory but I was able to remember the names of all 73 books of the Bible like it was nothing. I can list off every name in any order.
Its a good thing this is about self help.

Most all Bachelard's good. L'air et les Songes has perhaps the best essay on Nietzsche I have ever read. All the 'element' books are good, however.
