Below is a press-release from my publisher regarding the Presentation Zen DVD. These awards are for the original DVD. The same video has now been repackaged in a beautiful bento box (Amazon.com) and also includes a sketch pad/storyboard book, pencils, stickynotes, and a card with a code for 20 free high-rez images from iStockphoto. The whole thing looks fantastic.
