That's a good book. It's more of a reference.
You might also consider Farnsworth , or Arthur Quinn. Less of a guidebook, but interesting nonetheless is Words Like Loaded Pistols. This may be overkill for you, but there is a very good section in the last 1/3 of this book that is very good: Classical Rhetoric. There are lots and lots more depending how much you want to get into it.
My favorite rhetoric book is Words Like Loaded Pistols by Sam Leith. He writes in such an understanble way and really pulls you in. The books begins with the basics and Aristotle and moves through speakers and pop culture references that it me quite interested.
Sam Leith actually wrote a great analysis of Barak Obama's second inaugural speech.
