Since Robert's Rules of Order first was published in 1896, it's been
the means to orderly, smooth, and fairly conducted meetings. This ninth
edition of the famous manual of parliamentary procedure includes everything
from the first edition, but all of the information is clarified, cross-referenced,
and carefully indexed. "Where there is no law, but every man does what
is right in his own eyes, there is the least of real liberty," said General
Henry M. Robert, and his gift of order is as indispensable now as it was
a century ago. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition

From AudioFile
This is indeed an almost verbatim recording of the reference book that
virtually all deliberative bodies use to maintain order at meetings. The
dry and technical writing is what you'd expect from such a manual and,
all in all, it's very understandable, especially as narrated by the enthusiastic
and fresh sounding Meza. But it will be difficult to use as a reference
audio--how can you access the section you need without a written table
of contents? Aspiring Robert's Rules experts would be aided by such a menu,
and perhaps by an introduction or rationale for each type of rule, in addition
to the rules themselves. T.W. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine--

Book Description
The only authorized parliamentary procedure guide, completely revised
and updated by the authorized Robert's Rules Authorship Committee.
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.
