Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Containing exercises, checklists, worksheets, evaluation forms, and other materials, the workbook gives students additional assistance with all the major elements of effective speechmaking.

Rating: - I still don't have my book
I ordered this book on the 3rd of September, and it was shipped on the 5th, and I was told that it would take 3-15 days before the book came. Well, it's October 5th now, and I STILL do not have my book. I am not happy and I want my money back.
