5.0 out of 5 stars Speakers Sourcebook II, August 7, 2003

By	Robert C Cardin (Smiths, Alabama United States) - See all my reviews

If I were stuck on a desert island with one thousand sales people, this is the only book I would need. I have used this book so much that the cover is falling off. The book has a wide depth of topics that are easy to reference. The stories are sometimes profound and sometimes very funny. If you are a trainer or a speech writer, and you do not have a copy of this book, stop reading this and order it now. You will thank me later!

5.0 out of 5 stars entertaining, informational, comprehensive, inspirational -, November 19, 1999

By A Customer

The Speaker's Sourcebook II remains a favorite source of reference, inspiration and information for me. The author certainly pours a lot of himself in the messages following the anecdotes and stories. In many ways this is a large Chicken Soup book with ideas for application and tons of great quotes.
