"As a multi-title Dummies author, I am very impressed by thedepth of Prezi for Dummies. It's hard enough to write a bookthat explains a software program from the point of view of readerswho has never used it before.
It's even harder to write a book that puts a new softwareinto perspective and links it to classic visual thinking andstorytelling techniques...explaining not only how to useit, but when and why from a content and message pointof view." (Roger C. Parker, Published & Profitable Blog)
