This review is from: Teach Yourself VISUALLY PowerPoint 2003 (Teach Yourself VISUALLY (Tech)) (Paperback)

I think these are useful books for beginners. Many (but not all) of the "Teach Yourself Visually" series books are good -- check reviews first on the one you are considering. This one (Powerpoint 2003) is a good one.
