Fantastic! Every PowerPoint user should read this
This is a blueprint for creative, engaging, presentation design. Garr uses a Zen approach to designing simple, elegant and memorable slides that do so much more than the ubiquitous bulleted lists.
Grounded in principles of graphic design, his advice had a huge influence on my presentation style and I have consistently received positive feedback from audiences (for example, one person who attended a day's workshop that consisted of no more than 40 slides in total, said it was the best workshop she'd ever attended and held her attention throughout).
The book takes you through the whole sequence from identifying your key message, preparing to design the slides, the actual design and composition through to delivery.
Simple changes, such as removing "chart junk" (eg a fancy 3D effect with a texture fill on the bars) and just presenting a flat, clear bar chart with one bar highlighted in another colour to make a point, can make a huge difference.
More subtle changes, such as a soft shadow on text, and changing text colour from black to a dark grey, still add impact and mark out your slides from all the template followers.
This book will revolutionise your approach to presentations.
Stop death by powerpoint 
A great book from Garr Reynolds with easy to follow and implement tips to make presentations that will really wow your audience. has certainly changed the way I create presentations and the way I approach the whole process including the actual speaking. If there is any negative to the book it's that it does get a bit new age - but worth persevering beyond this for the great information.
The best place to start
This is a very good introduction to presentation done the right way.
It is not the definitive guide to "how to get your presentations as good as the ones from Steve Jobs" but it is a very good introduction to achieve that goal, nevertheless, and the best book to start with.
Add to this book, the Garr Reynolds webblog articles and you have a very good product and a very good starting point.
The book is full of examples, "before & after", very good photos, and small tricks that will help you to have that edge over competition.
Presentation Zen
Very interesting book. References to other books are very useful too. Must have for serious presenters.
presentation zen
This is an excellent resource for anyone wanting to improve their approach to presentations, especially those wanting to find life after death from powerpoint
