Good Introductory Text
Like a lot of people, I had to buy this book for my Speech class on Public Speaking. Although it was written clearly and had a lot of good information, I was disappointed in that much of it was very basic, self-explanatory, or things that could be found in more elementary Speech or Human Communication textbooks (several chapters, for example, were virtually indistinguishable from either my Speech 1000 Human Communication text from a few years ago or my Voice & Articulation book from this semester). Overall, however, it serves as a good introduction to public speaking. My major complaint is that many of the example speeches seem rather dull, but they do illustrate the points the chapter is making well. Given that most people are likely buying this book for a class, I will say here that there are no mjor differences between this 10th edition and the 9th edition (I cannot speak for earlier ones), with the one major difference that anyone in my class has noticed being updated pictures, such as ones that include Barack Obama.Read full review

Inexpensive book that is priceless for the future :-)
I purchased "The Art of Public Speaking" for my speech class this spring quarter. It is a very informative book that I will keep because it can be used in every day life. You never know who you might run into and the Urh's, Ummm's, need to be taken out of your vocabulary and this book is very beneficial in that area. I strongly suggest that if you purchase this book keep it because you never know when you will need assistance on how to form a speech and what kind of audience you will deliver it to. Thank you :-)

So far, so good.
I like how the book is laid out and simple to follow. The cover is very sleek and nice looking. The content of the book seems to be fairly helpful in my speech class at college, however my professor has not used much of the text yet. I would recommend this book.

Don't do it.
If you're looking for a methodology to use in public speaking with no moral compass then this is a great book for you. Obama fans will particularly enjoy the first part of chapter five when the author gives mad props to our President for convincing the people that even though he attended a racist black church, he's just like the rest of us. Three cheers to you Mr. Lucas you really knocked that one out of the park.

great product
I really liked this download and the way it printed. It printed to full 8 1/2 x 11 size pages. When I printed it on a color laser, the quality was excellent. It saved a LOT of money. If you only have access to an inkjet printer I would not suggest you buy this if you plan to print it. It is almost 500 pages and would not look that great in black and white print due to the many nice color photos. I love the way it looks and would download books in the future like this!!
