"I find your book the best of the three I have bought to learn PowerPoint."
-Robert Maddin

This book was a HUGE help for me while learning PowerPoint 2007. It was remarkably clearly written and easy to follow. While I'm not a big fan of all the changes to the PowerPoint (and the Office suite generally), it's great to have a well-written guidebook for coping with the increased complexity!

"I read your book, How to Do Everything with PowerPoint 2002 and loved it. It really gave me the know-how to deliver an amazing sales presentation."
-Christina Lang
