Summary: Use the drill!
Comment: A blurb for this book says it's a "12-page self-help booklet that provides unconventional tools for self-improvement with stuttering". I can only commend the author and question any detractors on this matter. Just because a tool is unconventional doesn't mean it won't work. If a drill is too unconventional a tool for people to be using, they should feel free to use more conventional ones, like hammers or spanners or whatever. But I say why stop at the drill? Many stutterers may find relief in even more unconventional tools, like angle grinders or rotary hoes, and if so why shouldn't they use them? I give this book 5 stars for its fresh new perspective on the usefulness of household tools in the treatment of stuttering. Perhaps other disciplines should open themselves up to this new perspective; for example has anyone looked into the effectiveness of power-saws or rivet-guns in treating schizophrenia?

Summary: I wouldn't recommend this. I hope my reasons are enough
Comment: I've been involved in this issue and I know what are the right ways and what are the old and out dated way (wrong ways). Thinking about a word before saying it is defenetly the worst thing that a person with stuttering problem can do. The person who has this problem should achieve confident that s/he will not stutter and should not think about atuttering at all. The reason I'm saying it is that this book completely denys this fact and makes the person to think about the issue s'he has during s/he is talking.
I would recommend "Stutter No More". I have read this book and it contains many great ways. Although, I kind on didn't like the beginning because it took like 3 chapters to show the reader what causes the problem. Nowadays, I suppose everybody who has this problem or is a therapist should know the cause (but if you don't know, this "Stutter no more" book the the right book for you).
If you're not a patient reader I would recommend you to go and buy a copy of "Stutter Cure". I would recommed this Audio Cassette to a person who has the stuttering problem, not a person who is trying to learn about the whole issue.
I hope I was helpful.
I wish you luck

Summary: Out of Date Ideas About Stuttering
Comment: According to the author, stuttering is due to the fact that the people with stutter did not think first before speaking. If they think first about what they wanted to speak then they won't stutter. This is an out of date idea. The Stutter Control Drill ask us to see a letter/numeral, saying it in your mind, saying it aloud and typing it on a typewriter or computer keyboard is a ridiculous idea of mastering the elements of fluent speech. The author should back his claims or withdraw this booklet from the market. He is deceiving and misleading people with stutter for profit.
