About this product
Product Information
THE SPEAKER'S HANDBOOK is an excellent textbook for students in a public speaking course, as well as a practical reference for the independent speaker. Its thorough coverage addresses public speaking fundamentals such as planning, listening, and presentation aids, yet each topic can stand alone, giving readers a convenient reference even when they can't read the entire text. Forward-thinking new coauthor David Bodary joins Jo Sprague and Doug Stuart in this ninth edition of THE SPEAKER'S HANDBOOK to engage students in active learning beyond the classroom.

Reviews
The Speaker's Handbook is a compact, well-organized text that students find very readable and very usable. The format is user-friendly, and tabbed section dividers facilitate location of information. The text clearly presents communication theory and its applications in both academic and professional settings., Unquestionably the best handbook-format textbook, and the most focused, clearly written public speaking text on the market. It's efficient, well organized, and easy for students and instructors to use., It is a great book as it includes substantial information on the most up-to-date communication theoretical concepts in relation to public speaking, as well as good supplemental material that would be useful for opening the door to developing speaking skills for our students.

AOK. Item as described, reasonable condition (as described), excellent price, reasonable packing and shipping time, no problems. Thanks. (Sorry, I don't do star ratings when some are automatic, as it's unfair to buyers to have eBay pre-empt any of the scores. You should complain to eBay, as your star ratings would have been very high.) I can't rate the product until I read it. It's unfair for eBay to require a product rating in order to send feedback! The guys at eBay are heavily into control.
