“I love Jon’s work. His tips are hugely useful, his WiT fantastic and ground-breaking, and his book essential reading. If you want to enhance your sales tenders, pitches and slides – if you want to win more business – get into Jon’s stuff. It’s really, really good.         Gavin Duffy, a Dragon on Ireland’s “Dragons’ Den”

"This book will inform and inspire. It has simple design tips to make work look sharp" - Business Executive

"Jon Moon's book provides a comprehensive and convincing guide to making all sorts of information clear and compelling." - Student Accountant April 2008

Moon presents some relatively simple ideas and principles that can be used to improve the writing and structuring of reports, produce better slides that engage an audience or design tables that communicate points clearly and concisely. People Management January 08

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best investments I have ever made, 27 Feb 2008
By Paul T (London) - See all my reviews
For anyone who produces written reports or presentations, this book is a must and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is a comprehensive reference manual of how to make sure that messages get across with maximum effect and minimum effort. Moon deals with a host of commonly used tools such as tables, graphs, charts and bullets, and introduces a number of uncommon ones such as "Words in Tables". He shows when and how to use these and when not to use them. Moreover, he does so in a way that makes the underlying logic blindingly obvious, so the concepts he introduces are easy to apply and to remember. I have already followed his recommendations in a number of client financial reports and have received very positive feedback as a result. Moon's book is in a class of its own and is one of the best investments I have ever made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Admirably thorough, clear, and concise., 24 Feb 2008
By M. van de Water (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I attended one of the author's courses, and bought the book at the same time. I've since recommended it (and his website) extensively.

It does what it says on the tin - gives you advice on how to improve your written communications - but does so clearly, concisely, and completely. The book addresses design of slides, documents, and spreadsheets, focussing in turn on charts, tables, number formats, fonts, and explains the rationale behind its (far better) alternatives to conventional wisdom. I replaced my bullet-point-format CV with his "words in table" format, and it not only looks better, I'm getting more calls as a result.

I've recommended the book (and his website) pretty much non-stop since then. A massively useful resource!

5.0 out of 5 stars The bible on business document design, 22 Jan 2008
By Catherine Galvin (North London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The unprompted praise you will receive after you implement the more straightforward of Jon's suggestions is sufficient reason to buy the book. Another of the pluses is that the book explains exactly why things work better one way rather than another. Thirdly, putting your thinking on any issue into a tabular structure (Jon's "Words in tables") really does sharpen up your analysis. It forces you to articulate your key points in a way that is readily accessible to others. The book is also an entertaining read, poking gentle fun at practices which are all too common. Finally, and on a practical note, the book points you in the right direction on how to tweak those pesky Microsoft default settings.

I, like one other reviewer, am mentioned in the Acknowledgements. I too proof-read a number of chapters. I first met Jon when he gave his one hour talk at the Institute of Chartered Accountants and he subsequently presented his full day course at my employer, a UK economic regulator. Note however that the ideas set out in the book are of universal application and are not just relevant to the business world.
