Santa is a fairy tale for kids, but free e-books are real. On December 12, 2017 I blogged about how to Be your own Santa Claus – download free public speaking e-textbooks. In that post I provided links to the Open Textbook Library at the University of Minnesota.

 

There you can find the newer 2019 fourth edition of Exploring Public Speaking by Kris Barton and Barbara G. Tucker. There also is the 2016 book Stand Up, Speak Out (author not identified, but really by Jason S. Wrench), and the 2019 book Speak Out, Call In: Public Speaking as Advocacy by Meggie Mapes. Toastmasters and other students of public speaking will find those e-textbooks useful as references.

  

On September 4, 2020 I blogged about how Two of my blog posts are referenced in a textbook on Exploring Public Speaking.
