Book Description
Originally published as a slim document in 1896, General Henry M. Robert's classic guide to smooth, orderly, and fairly conducted meetings has sold close to five million copies in nine editions. The only book containing the completely developed Robert's Rules of Order subject matter, this latest edition will continue the book's reputation as the gold standard of meeting procedure for parliamentarians and novice club presidents and members alike. Thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the past decade's technological advances and usage, this tenth edition contains new information on how to conduct meetings over the Internet, on phone and video conference calls, and with members in absentia. The best book from which to learn all about running and taking an effective part in meetings, General Robert's gift of order is as indispensable now as it was a century ago.

The latest Robert's Rules, but use something else!,
By Michael R. Brown (Tamarac, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robert's Rules Of Order: 10th Edition (Paperback)
If you are involved with an organization that uses Robert's Rules, you'll need this book.However, it is still the overly large, cumbersome, and complex parliamentary work as ever. If you're smart, you'll get your organization to adopt one of the many alternatives out there, like The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure or Modern Parliamentary Procedure. Avoid all the varients of Robert's Rules, however.

Simply delightful,
By Brit Martin (Pineville, LA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robert's Rules Of Order: 10th Edition (Paperback)
Robert's Rules of Order is a charming little volume that will temporarily satiate the obsessions of control freaks. If you've ever been involved in an organization and have a keen sense of annoyance at inefficiency and improper democratic process, Robert's Rules of Order is for you. If you have a very systematic, logical mind and like learning new patterns to help bring order to a chaotic world, Robert's Rules of Order is for you. If you are bossy and want to impose "The Right Way" on your organization, buy a copy of Robert's Rules of Order and wave it over their heads. The book is well-organized, attractive, and easy to read. You might expect that reading a book of rules would be boring, but it actually is quite interesting, because it is easy to see how the intricacies of correct parliamentary procedure can be applied and manipulated.

STILL NUMBER ONE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!,
By
This review is from: Robert's Rules Of Order: 10th Edition (Paperback)
This book was originally published over a century ago and to this day is still the number one publication on parliamentary procedure. For anyone in the world of business this is a must have book. We NEED rules and order, for without them we have absolute lack of organization and complete and utter chaos. Over the years, I have been a director and chairperson on a great number of boards from charitable organizations and government boards to corporate boards; "Robert's Rules of Order" has always prevailed. Regardless of the type of organization, if you are in a position to sit as a member on a Board of Directors, this book is one you definitely should read. Do not assume the chairperson has all the answers and required expertise. In many cases that expertise is clearly and sadly lacking. Keep a copy of "Robert's Rules of Order" tucked safely in your briefcase, you may need it sooner than you think!
