I think this is an OK book, which obviously a lot of work went in to creating. If you're a non-designer you will probably find useful information that will make your slides better. But if you're like me and have some experience in design and creating slides, you will find it very basic. That said you might still enjoy the design of the book and all the lovely examples in it.
