Product Description

REALLY BAD POWERPOINT has just one goal, and I bet you've already figured it out. Microsoft made the program easy to use poorly... and this book makes it easier to use well. Short (11 pages or so) but worth every penny.

Review
"Not another awful PowerPoint presentation! Not any more. Not with "Really Bad Powerpoints" by the desktop. Godin really nailed this one--you'll never look at a presentation in quite the same way after reading this really short e-booklet."

Customer Reviews

Read it if you ever show PowerPoint
Do you ever use PowerPoint while presenting? Dude, read this book. You'll be doing all of us a favor.

Seth Godin's ebook is 10 pages and costs $1.99, which I think goes to charity. People, for less than a cup of coffee you could be reading this thing. You'll probably be done in less than an hour from now!

But for the rest of your life your presentations will be better and your audiences will forever more benefit from your presentations instead of belittling your skills. Which, let's face it, is what they are doing now.

Excellent quick read on presentations...
Very quick read on power point presentation. Excellent insight in this concise read. I recommend.

Brief, some valid points, but not really worth it
This ebook is extremely brief (10 pages).

It has some valid points, but is presented in text rather than with visual examples.

It is also quite outdated in some regards. For example, it complains that Powerpoint doesn't let you include "flash card" notes for your presentation, which we all know that both Powerpoint and Keynote both do provide "presentation/slide notes" functionality.
