highly recommended

Before you dare making that presentation...

go thro' this book once more,
go thro' your story, and
go thro' your slides.

You'd find that the PZ approach evangelized by Garr cuts thro' all the non-essentials and then, lets you present your beautiful story as you know it to the audience. I agree with 'Even Teachers Present' comment that the way you present the content/story matters more than the content itself. As a lecturer myself, my single most important aim in classroom is to make my students understand my lectures. I do receive a lot of ready-made powerpoint/pdf slides from book publishers, however I always design my own slides. That idea came when I started following Garr's fantastic Presentation Zen blog. Designing one's slides/presentation would be synonymous to taking l'il journeys into yourself, bring out those rich experiences and merge them with the present to create a beautiful presentation your audience would certainly appreciate. And the PZ approach shows you the tools to do just that.
What I really like about the PZ book is that I have the presentation wisdoms in my hand and I can make mini notes in the book. Though.. I wouldn't recommend anyone to be too carnal to this beautiful book ;-). Yes, it's that good!
No, no second thoughts. Go buy it!=)

Brilliant book for anyone who presents

This is an excellent book. I know PowerPoint better than most of my colleagues, and I present regularly (and i feel reasonably successfully) to senior and executive audiences. If you're in a similar situation, then I beleive this could be the best money you can spend. It has inspired and positively challenged me in numerous ways. If you are a regular presenter, it will challenge your thinking, your style and your approach, and encourage you to become better. If you're a newbie, then read this and don't listen to anyone else!

This is not a book to teach you about PowerPoint, so if you want that go buy 'PowerPoint for Dummies' - but dont expect to become a better presenter because of it. If you have a basic knowledge of PowerPoint, you probably know more than enough to take advantage of this material. This book will teach you how to present using PowerPoint to creatively support your ideas as opposed to using it as a crutch.

The man knows what he is talking about

First off I have to admit I am a bit bias, I have read Garr blog for years now. Nonetheless, this book embodies what a great powerpoint is and isn't.

Be careful what you wish for, after reading this book you may have an epiphany that 95% of the power points presented are truly awful.

A lot of the content and concepts of the book are covered in his blog, but this is a better easy to use offline reference.

I hope all presenters read this book

I do not have a lot of time to give a detailed review (I am working on a presentation for our CEO) but I think this book is awesome, and was immediately helpful. I also strongly reccomend A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink.
