This book is part of a series that aims to provide a self-study MBA course, instead of a traditional and very expensive degree program. It looks at some intermediate, or even advanced, PowerPoint tips.
This book is not Power Point for Beginners. It assumes that the reader has some basic knowledge of Power Point. The authors look at shortcuts and hotkeys, a way to morph from one slide to the next, and presenting your slideshow as a video (to post on YouTube). The book also explores the creating of icons, infographics and hyperlinks. Did you know that there is a way to zoom in on a particular part of a slide?
Here is a short (less than 50 pages) and interesting book. For anyone who already knows their way around Power Point, some of the techniques discussed here could be a big help. This is well worth checking out.

I thought this book was going to be very technical so I hesitated to acquire it. However, Amazon had it at the right price (free) so "bought" it.
To my surprise, it wasn't as technical as I feared. I have been muddling along using PowerPoint for the college classes I can audit now for free since I'm a senior citizen. But I only knew the basics. This book gave me a better grounding in working with PowerPoint. I learned some new things and others I didn't understand. But I'm sure what I did learn/understand will improve my PowerPoint presentations somewhat.
I also bought the other 3 computer books by the same author(s) and I hope they're all like this one.

Great book for teaching pro PowerPoint tips.
I so wish I knew about books like this when I was back in school. I can totally use what I've learned here for work and to teach my little ones at home. Very simple instructions, and the pictures help a lot too, plus a bunch of hotkeys I had no idea about.

"What" not "How to"
This poorly translated, quick run-through of the authors' favorite features of Powerpoint (the only way I can explain what's included) isn't worth the time.
From simply saying a feature is available without explaining how to access the feature to describing how to access a feature without explaining how to use it -- this booklet (it's only that) is a far cry from anything you'd hope to find in a true "MBA Coursework" text.
These brothers have found a way to cash in by (probably) dictating books, using a built-in translation feature (one of the few they highlight in this book), then promoting the heck out of them to readers like me who truly hoped to increase an understanding of the Powerpoint tool.
I use Powerpoint for many things and hoped to learn a few more things about it but was very disappointed.
You get what you pay for, to be sure.

Very useful introduction to PowerPoint.
I liked the description of the Design feature. I don't have 360 at home however, so some features described are less relevant to me.
