Everything was clearly presented in the book; but over 150 tips were given in a book that's around 300 pages - thus, it is difficult to remember them well.

Mind you, I rarely have much time to read anything whatsoever not directly related to my studies right now. Will it be of direct use to my professional writing and debate skills? |
The Handlist of Rhetorical Terms probably won't, but Thank You For Arguing will. |
Ack! They don't have that.
I'll have a flick through the handlist for half an hour next time I'm in the library to start with.

I could, but there are so many other course related books I should be buying first...
Well okay. I'll give it some seroius consideration.

Kick his Redcoat ass!
I'll check that book out. However, I don't think he can teach me anything master debater Sean Hannity hasn't covered.
