I have never written a review before but felt I had to for this. I've not quite finished it yet, but this has been by far the best guide I've ever come across. The authors really do know their stuff, and cover an awful lot of ground, all the while keeping it humorous, informative and interesting. Not easy with such a well covered and potentialy dull subject. The parts on phrasing, context and the use of language are worth the price alone. This should help steer you through the many pitfalls that can await you if you are unprepared. Lets face it we have all sat through the presentions from hell, from monotone recitals, to death by Powerpoint. I would thoroughly recommend this for anyone who lectures, presents or pitches anything, especially if you think you are already pretty good at public speaking. You won't regret it.
