FINALLY, Someone who can teach public speaking!, Feb 1 2002
As a college instructor of oral communication for ten years, I complained bitterly about the poor selection of books for beginning students--until now. This is the single best book of its kind on the market, bar none. In all my years, I've never had students brag on a book like this one: easy to read, well-organized, thoughtful, practical, visually attractive, and substantive. My best compliment is that I can teach three times the material in half the time just by using this text--and people understand it! I can't brag enough on the author's work. This is phenomenal. ANYONE who wants to master the basics of public speaking should read this cover to cover. The principles and techniques Mr. Gregory describes are effective, powerful, and described in a simple way. BRAVO! I'll recommend this to everyone.

Great Public Speaking Reference/Easy Read, Sep 22 2010
By Sandra Lloyd "Luv2Read" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Public Speaking for College and Career. by Hamilton Gregory (Paperback)
My title says it all...great textbook to keep and use as a public speaking/speech preparing reference tool. Although comprehensive in scope of material, the text was easy to read and understand.

Speech, Feb 27 2006
By L. Hitchcock "Rissa" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Public Speaking for College and Career with SpeechMate CD-ROM 3.0 (Paperback)
I trully enjoyed this book, even though I am not a fan of text books. It has helped me develop stronger speaking skills, and I am not very good at public speaking. It's not a how to book, its simply a guide which offers tips and ideas on how you should present various topics.
