I bought this book (5th edition) from a seller who was offering it brand new for 19 dollars. And I was 100% satisfied with this purchase. The book arrived promptly and it was brand new (wrapped in plastic). This is an excellent textbook for Oral Communication classes.

This is the most long-winded book I have ever read and is thus a good example of how not to communicate. Big words are used to obfuscate simple ideas and puff up the subject into a bloated, self-important, unnecessary load of drivel. Look out - it gets worse: If your Speech Communication teacher likes this book it probably means you have to pretend to be left-wing to get a good grade.

This is a great introductory book to communications. It scratches the surface of the subject but still educates the reader in practically every area of communication such as: Preparing and outline for a speech, Manage Speech Anxiety, Informative Speaking, Persuasive Speaking and much more. I recommend this text for any student wishing to introduce themselves to the wonderful field of communications.

Received the book in a timely manner and it was just as advertised. Would not hesitate to buy from this seller again.
Thanks!

My instructor required some sort of MCP code to access a website for my online classes. Apparently this is only sold with the book when new.
