I picked up this book at a thrift store and I'm glad I did. It's dated, but I gleaned a few great tips on public speaking I plan to use in the future.

This non fiction book is about how to speak in public and visual aids to that end. The author’s name is a bit worrying and in fact Toogood comes across much as he describes himself: “a fairly facile, somewhat sophisticated Eastern Ivy League City Slicker”.
Don’t let that faze you! This book (or most of it, at least) is a real gem if you ever need to speak in public, or even in a small group in a corporate setting. The tips and tricks, techniques and anecdotes are excellent. Anyone in working life can benefit from this quick read, and I highly recommend it.
There are unfortunately some small factual errors in the examples, but that doesn’t detract from the usefulness of the book. Toogood is undoubtedly a good speaker, but he sometimes gets carried away with his examples to the point of making errors.

the first half of the book is helpful and insightful, but the 2nd half is garbage. I also don't like the excessive praise of dictators.

Somewhat surprisingly, I found this to be one of the better books I've read about speaking. Lots of practical tips and common sense advice, mixed with some insightful observations.

This book has inspired me to become a better leader through communication, especially through speech. Granville gives a detailed step-by-step on how to become the best leader through speeches. This has driven me to take those speech opportunities so that I can become a better leader through my speeches.

Although 2 stars may seem low considering I thought it was decent for what it was, a business presentation guide, I could not bring myself to rate it too highly as it is not actual literature but just a book.
That being said, for people who need to brush up on their skills for the upcoming big presentation, this is a pretty good resource. A relatively easy read, sporadic humor, and decent (yet sometimes a little avant garde) advice.
