The 100 Greatest Speeches ever delivered is a look at 100 speeches picked from the works of great orators.. It gives a short biography of the speaker, the lessons to learn from the speech and then what was the legacy from it.
Whilst it certainly contained some great quotes, which made me investigate the actual speech myself in a few cases, the biggest disappointment was that there wasn't more of each speech quoted.

Step away from the crayons
A book co-written by a speaker I heard at an MD2MD session. Essentially about the need for a holisitc approach to creating a company brand (rather than just focusing on teh creative image aspects)
Thoughtful sections were
p32 about the power of using stories to communicate a message.
p35 Be clear about the purpose of the business (and this isn't just to make a profit!)
p45 lovel poem about the average man and his negative opinions
p54 Whate are my customers buying (as opposed to what am I selling)
p75 a checklist of what you should know about your (key) customers
p84 on the dangers of too much measurement 'You can't fatten a pig by weighing it'
p118 the improtance of teh right working environment
p126 what search terms do our customers use to find us on the web?
