 Content not just presentation July 14, 2008
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.
true art of presentation July 12, 2008
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 !
Zen-sational! July 5, 2008
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.
Required Reading July 5, 2008
For anyone serious about effective presentations, this is required reading. Once you have read it, prepare to change your presentation approach in a fundamental way. Ask me next year, as I intend to start down the road now incorporating these concepts and expect this will take awhile to become comfortable with. Invaluable.
Great book and Super wisdom June 27, 2008
Garr Reynolds is now an icon for all the presenters (who seriously care about their presentations). Several of the things he talked about is applicable in presentations created for informational purposes. This can be marketing and advertisement, personal branding, book review or anything. However, when it comes to technical presentations, it becomes a different story.
Though this book does not talk about techniques in this area, I believe these can be evolved from the principles presented in the presentation zen. I am curious if Reynolds has started researching about technical presentations and how persentation zen can be extended to address the boredom and save the world.
Overall, a wonderful buy! Remember that you also get some stock images for free with the purchase of this book.
