From the Back Cover
Make all your presentations come alive through the masterful use of flip charts! Despite all the razzle-dazzle technology around, there’s still no more lively, informative, and audience-friendly way to make an impact than with flip charts. But using flip charts well is a skill that must be developed. In this comprehensive handbook, professional trainer and communications expert Robert Lucas explains the basic design principles and techniques that professionals use to make impressive flip charts—the simple "tricks of the trade" that make an impact all the way to the back of the room. In addition to tips on drawing and displaying great-looking flip charts, Lucas explains how flip charts can make you a better facilitator. Over two dozen creative flip-chart-based group activities are included to help you lead a brainstorming, teambuilding, or problem-solving session. Each activity uses flip charts to draw out the best ideas and creative thinking from your group. For presenters who want to jazz up their "text only" flip charts, but don’t know how to draw, dozens of ready-to-copy flip chart graphics, icons, and templates make it easy to create something special with minimal effort. You’ll learn how to use lettering in an attractive and impactful way; understand spacing, use color and creative fonts. The Big Book of Flip Charts is the ultimate reference guide for flipcharts, covering not just writing and displaying techniques but layout and graphics, as well as flip chart facilitation activities.

I bought this book because as a Professional Trainer i under use flipcharts in a training session, workshop, meetings or coaching sessions.
This book provides a range of useful tools to help you write nice, pretty and exciting flip charts that will assist in getting the message across during a training event.
There are lots of tips on font zize, layout, structure a flip chart, colour, and picture templates that you can use to write smart flips. The book is also packed with games which gives you ideas on how you can incorporate flip chart in problem solving, fact finding, and view seeking excerices.
The only downside in relation to the book are the games are not very clearly laid out and can be hard to understand how to apply them in a session, there are very few examples to show you examples of the games, or templates that you could use as a basis for your sessions.
Also in places in the book the grammar, and english is not written in plain english and can blur the points the author is trying to make during the book which is why i rated it a 3 stars and not 4.

I was looking for a refresher book on making effective use of a flipchart as I have been out of the training arena for a couple of years and one de-skills.
I could not be more happy with this book which is complete and very thorough.
There are excellent resources on:
Designing flip charts
Writing on flip charts
Making them engaging
Yes, there is the odd bit that is not that up to date, but 95% of the book is highly relevant.
I am very pleased I have this in my training box.
