this is a great book, i've really enjoyed reading it. i had to buy this for my public speaking class, but its not like a textbook. it reads like a regular informational book, and has a lot of useful information. recommended for anyone who wants some professional advise on how to improve on your public speaking.

The Art of Public Speaking

I bought this book because it's the required text required for a class I'm taking. The book is easy to understand and has good examples of speech formats and outlines.

Good read!
2 July 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book brand new due to the online access code. The book is really an easy and educational read (for being a text book). I usually find textbooks difficult to read, but this has been good. I haven't used the online access code because I want to be able to resell it with the code intact, but I can see where it would be good to have. This book was exactly what I needed for my summer class, and I received it promptly. Thanks Amazon.
