Beyond Bullet Points by Cliff Atkinson

Another quick read, a lot of it familiar - but this is the third book on presentations I've read in two months. Still, I learned some good tips: a story template to help create a presentation in three acts (I particularly like the set-up as a who/what/where/why/how story) and structure a talk in various lengths; the "Send to MS Office PPT" command in MS Word; and the "Hide Slide" command in PPT. There were a number of other features of PPT that I already knew, and I thought Atkinson's treatment of Act III was shallow. Still, this book helped me develop my first bullet-less PPT.
