Reading the Act of Pitching is a humbling experience. There is simply no part of pitching that John Bagonzi does not explain better than anyone out there. The hundreds of illustrations and photos are not just window dressing, they are truly instructional. And his writing is equally helpful, yet laced with style and wit. If you own only one book on pitching, it should be this one. And if you own a hundred other pitching books, you still need this one. - Richard Todd, WebBall
