52 Laws Of Presenting & Speaking In Public by Michel Vergotte is an excellent book for a beginner or experienced speaker to have as a reference. It well written, to the point and the book chapters are easy to follow.It tackles the obvious questions down to the smallest details such as what to do if there is a power outage during your speech, how long to keep eye contact, what to do when someone arrives late or leaves early, what is the correct verb tense to use when writing an opening joke. He not only offers suggestions on what to do, but what not to do, and includes several examples.He also gives you links for several different programs that are helpful, YouTube videos to learn from and a number of apps for your Smartphone or Android.  He even includes several ideas on how to keep the audience engaged after your presentation is over.
