Praise for A Concise Public Speaking Handbook,2e:
“When I picked up A Concise Public Speaking Handbook by Beebe and Beebe, the decision to change was almost immediate. Finally, I was holding a textbook for experienced instructors of public speaking. Instead of dictating speech outline form ats or sample response sheets for speakers as so many other textbook authors, Beebe and Beebe offer practical reinforcement of key ideas about conversation, listening and speech delivery that all of us discuss with students in our classes.” – Judith A. Schum, Reading Area Community College
