It has been said by one of the greatest of English writers on parliamentary law: "Whether these forms be in all cases the most rational or not is really not of so great importance. It is much more material that there should be a rule to go by, than what that rule is, that there may be a uniformity of proceeding in business, not subject to the caprice of the chairman, or captiousness of the members. It is very material that order, decency and regularity be preserved in a dignified public body." This work is the classic edition of Robert's Rules of Order. Originally published in 1875, Roberts Rules of Order is a manual of rules for deliberative assemblies and is often used in business, government and other governing bodies.

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.

'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.

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.
