How to Say It Best puts at your fingertips a huge selection of the most suitable words and phrases for just about every speaking occasion, along with complete sentences and whole paragraphs you can "borrow" or modify to quickly create a speech that reflects your particular situation and your feelings.

This review is from: How To Say It Best (Paperback)
This book gives examples of different types of speeches that could be given. It would be good for someone who needs to give speeches regularly, but it didn't give examples of a process or a persuasive speech which was what I was looking for. If one is looking for examples of any other type of speech, this would be a good source.

Book arrived on schedule in good condition. I thought it was new and it was used with yellow highlights. At least they could have taken off the yellow stickers (that were marking someones thoughts) on the pages.
