Best for first-timers
Worth reading if public speaking is not your thing. The book takes the reader through seven stages including breathing, confidence, etc.

The author is an accomplished trainer in the area, and she gets her points across very well with many anecdotal illustrations. However at some points these stories are overdone - I found that as I read through for a second time I could skip large sections.

More of a beginners book to inspire first timers than anything that would improve experienced speakers.
