Average Customer Rating:
excellent book ; piss-poor software
Customer Rating:
The book is a classic in consulting. I purchased the "toolkit" thinking / hoping that the text would have been updated since it's 35mm slide days. It wasn't. My other hope was that the software would be something to really improve/ spice up the graphics of my presentations, which are largely based on Zelany's approach. It's not. The software is pretty much image files of the text's graphics which, as I mentioned above, haven't been updated since the Reagan administration.
