Zen-sational! [Posted on 2008-07-05]
For years I've been urging my clients (I'm an Executive Speech Coach) to visually simplify the message... and now I have the perfect book to backup my request - Presentation Zen! Garr Reynolds is a master at presentation design - his ability to distill the message and reduce the visual slide noise is invaluable. A must read for every speaker who wants to learn to create a visually impactful presentation.
true art of presentation [Posted on 2008-07-12]
Within half a day after receiving this book I included some of the principles it describes into my presentation. The results are truly remarkable, my thoughts come across much more powerful. Also people smiled after my presentation saying where did you learn to present like this, fun, entertaining and meaningful !
Content not just presentation [Posted on 2008-07-14]
In the foreword, Guy Kawasaki said "So open your wallet. And buy it. Then open your mind. And read it. Then open your heart. And do it". I think you should do that with this book, and maybe before that check the presentation of the author at google:

just to have a taste of the book.

This is thought provoking and great for stimulating thought about the way you want to present information at your next meeting.....great read, great ideas and will be using it as a reference book!
Useless fluff, not good for scientists [Posted on 2008-07-19]
I am a scientist, and I have given hundreds of presentations. I was hoping that this book would be applicable, but it is not. Somehow, the "professional stock photos" suggested cannot convey scientific data. There were no substantive suggestions or guidelines in this book.
Perhaps if you are a motivational speaker "I live in a van by the river" this would be useful.
If you are required to give presentations that convey data (experimental results, financial data) skip this book.
Sorry I wasted my money,
