It seems having no typos isn't one of the deadly sins
Its a good book, but full of typos. Excessive typos creates will a subconscious skepticism of the credibility of the author while reading. It's ironic that a book on effective presentation contains so many typos, I would say more than I can will remember from any book at from a major publisher. (The typos above were intended.)

Excellent information
With a solid four pages or so of favourable reviews within the book itself, it's fair to say that this book has been well received.
The difference between presenting a message and getting your message across is powerfully demonstrated within this book. Plenty of examples of presentations getting a workover and numerous lessons on how to achieve a higer level of communication with your presentations is well covered bu Weissman.
If only this was given away with every copy of MS Powerpoint the world would be a much better (and less boring) place.

Hits the Mark
About 99% of presentations I have been given violate all of the principles espoused in this book. Most people are thinking that more is better and that creativity is unbusiness-like.This book offers compelling perspective from a person whose background was in television entertainment, and who developed his perspectives through IPO roadshow presentations. If there is one message from this book, it is that your presentations should be Presenter Focused. This requires one to think through the organization, purpose and crafting of the presentation. In This book outlines the means by which you use the presentation to create the stage upon which you will act.
