Sorry to be so negative -- but:
This book addresses a genuinely important topic (making good presentations). It's glossily and expensively done (*very* much so). It does in fact contain bits of good content, here and there. But still:** Two hundred and seventy five -- repeat, 275! -- pages? ** With all the text in fine print and faintly colored ink?** Probably 500+ figures and illustrations, many of them either excessively detailed or of dubious or unexplained relevance, and with captions in even smaller type size?Utterly crazy to spend good money on this (at lleast IMHO).
Also these products are selling well.
