Public Speaking plain and simple
By Lindsey Lindgren
This book laid out all the expectations for giving a speech. It was easy to read and to understand. If you have not a clue on how to give a speech, this book will guide you with the How To. I also liked the examples provided, they help a lot.

Redundant
By G. Tavarez
This text is very redundant! If you read the detailed table of contents, and the chapter's outline there is no need to read the text!! However, the suggested topics are very helpful!
