| Customer Review: |
|
1: Good book for rules of office/board etiquette.
Have used this book in our Auxiliary Board meetings and it has been most useful. It also has helped to settle some disputes over how things are supposed to work.
|
2: A bit hard to follow
This edition keeps referencing itself back and forth, I got tired of flipping through the book again and again. Try a different version.
|
3: Don't bother; NOT Newly Revised & occasionally defective.
Don't Bother this is the old, really old edition by Roberts in the late 1800's and useless for any practical purpose. Instead find a good version of the "Newly Revised" Rules and even better for ease of use a pocket version. One of the copies I got was even defective as it had 2 complete copies of the book inside.

4: 'Robert's' Is Important To Know
While there certainly are other options to understanding parliamentary procedure, "Robert's Rules of Order" is a traditional key to knowing the ways things are done. This is the book, with a leather binding. The leather is its strength and weakness.
True, true: this isn't exactly the sort of book you bring to a coffeehouse on a Saturday. However, it is also true that if you are part of an organization that has organized meetings, 'Robert's Rules' is a great place to start. The liturgy of meeting procedure starts and finishes with the rules set forth in 'Robert's Rules.'
The leather looks and feels great. For use in an ordinary meeting context, it is likely too much. As a gift to your favorite politician (or as a editorial comment to your least favorite politician), the leather is a nice touch.
Get this book, but consider getting one of the plain English versions as well. If you are new to parliamentary procedure, you'll find both books in tandem quite helpful.
I fully recommend, "Robert's Rules of Order" by Henry M. Robert III.

5: Robert's Rules, Rules!
Robert's Rules of Order is a great tool for conducting meetings and outlines how we conduct them in a fair and orderly way. Without this book, the political organization I am involved in would be a lot less organized and allows us to get serious about fulfilling our organizational goals instead of wasting our time getting bogged down in procedure. This is the classic edition, and is an excellent and straight to the point version of this important work, as opposed to some other editions which are much larger revised editions that can get confusing and redundant.
