This book is so repetitive, although it is very thorough. You might have trouble paying attention though because its so repetitive however it will brainwash the info into your poor, bored brain since its repetitive. It does shift from topics well though and can sometimes be interesting but its very repetitive.
This book is very informative without overloading you with too much detail. It sheds light on different problem areas ie., nervousness, for example and have multiple kinds of solutions to overcome this anxiety- tips, misconceptions, FAQ's. Delivery was in a timely manner. The only draw back is there is not a "special instructions" field on the order page. I would of rather have the box near the front door, rather than hanging from my mailbox in a plastic bag.
A very fine book for Communication courses, presentation and public speaking improvement. The book gives very good tips and explanations of the break down of Presentation making. Even though I received the book in the middle of the semester after shipping it in, it was of good use. I was more excited to be able to get it at the awesome price of 50 something dollars (s/h included to Fl.). I would've had to pay too much at my local college bookstore and having had to use the book for only 1 course, 1 semester.. that would've been ridiculous. It was also in excellent condition for a used book. Very grateful.
Book came a little later in the shipping estimation but was the product I am looking for and is useful in public speaking courses.
I guess the books serves it's purpose. We're using it in class and are required to read it afterall. The content is pretty useful.
