SEDA has a few books on speech and debate available if coaches are looking for further general information. These books do not contain information specific to SEDA's rules of debate. Please contact the SEDA office to request a book. Books are on loan for up to three weeks. To ensure the safe return of these resources, requests will only be taken from member coaches.
