Books About Pitching, and I'm Not Talking Baseball

I delivered a Toastmaster's speech today. The test for speech number 7 is "Research".  Well, the internet is great, but when I research my first stop is always books.  The subject of my speech, titled "Perfect Pitch", is how to give a pitch to sell or promote yourself, a person, an idea, a company, a project.

Happy pitching!  Baseball season's not over yet . . . .


Here's the great books I used to research -
