Every once in a while, a guru appears
Garr is that guru. His work on the cutting edge of the intersection of presentations, communication and PowerPoint is a model for how anyone can have an industry. His hard work, clear writing and persuasive point of view have changed our world for the better.

The new book
Garr's book is literally a piece of work
Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery (Voices That Matter)
Amazon Price: $23.09 (as of 07/05/2009)![]()
One of the most extraordinary books you'll find on any topic, this one happens to be about something we all can do better... presentations.
The one thing to remember about PowerPoint:
It's not a teleprompter.
If you are reading your slides,
you're doing it wrong.

I greatly anticipate this book as a way to improve my presentations. Cliff Atkinson opened my eyes a few years ago and now I look forward to Garr's wisdom. It will also be interesting to see what this book does for istockphoto.com.
