Robert-s Rules of Order Newly Revised in Brief Roberts Rules of Order in Brief

5 stars (Buy this one first) - Even though I have both the "in Brief" and the unabridged editions, it is only the "in Brief" edition that I take with me to my meetings. I recommend that you buy and read the "in Brief" edition first. 5 stars (User-friendly meeting guide) - This has to be the most user-friendly book I've seen, starting with the inside of the front cover. It says, "If you only have 30 minutes" then read certain chapters. Somehow these experts figured out what the rest of us would need to know and how we would be looking for it. Maybe they had a panel of non-experts to critique. There are chapters detailing what the words are that you use to make something happen and how to use those words. Best of all, everywhere you look there are copious examples. In the back are succinct tables of those same words and there is also a chapter on how to find the completely complete information on the topic in the big "Robert's" book Most of the book is concerned with what you need to know as a member of the group.

This is not a book you'd save for a winter evening curled up in front of the fireplace. It's to tell you all sorts of things you'd really rather not have to know, but that you really need to know. I've already decided that mine is mine alone. Nobody is going to borrow it because it would never come back to me. ...

Robert-s Rules of Order

5 stars (From the Publisher) - This is the classic work on parlimentary procedure as it was originally published. 1 stars (Robert's Rules download of an ANCIENT edition) - This download is of no value because it does not tie in directly with the most current version of Robert's Rules. It is vital that the same edition of Robert's Rules by used by a group, to prevent confusion over pages, wording, interpretations, etc. The publication date is from the late 1800's and therefore not at all worthwhile for contemporary useage. I thought this was too good to be true, a searchable copy of Robert's Rules for under $5 and I was right. It is worthless, except for historical research. ...
