The Speaker's Handbook [with CD-ROM and Infotrac]

by Jo Sprague, Douglas K. Stuart

As the first of its kind for this course, THE SPEAKER'S HANDBOOK has established itself as both a reference for the individual speaker and an excellent textbook for use in the public speaking course. The new edition of the THE SPEAKER'S HANDBOOK continues to distinguish itself by providing another innovation - a new spiral bound, tabbed format. Each of the chapters can stand alone, enabling the speaker to consult only those parts of the book covering the aspects of public speaking with which they need guidance. The new edition also offers expanded and updated research and presentation coverage, a new text-specific CD-ROM with interactivity that guides students through the speech-making process, and links to the Web-based Speech Builder Express speech-outlining program.

Some good info but for school so yeah

There was a wealth of examples, which was nice. I enjoyed the way the authors challenged statements a speaker may make that would inadvertently offend an audience, especially advocating for more inclusive language. I thought the authors at times spent too long on things that didn’t need to be explained for such a long portion. Other places seemed a little too brief. Other than that, it was a good textbook

This is the book if you want a desktop speech book

A good book to learn the art of public speaking.

Step-by-step procedure to attack public speaking and to be consciously aware of one's ability/inability.
