Product Description:
A revised edition of the bestselling Robert's Rules in Plain English, which still stands as the most concise, most-user friendly guide to parliamentary procedure on the market today.
If you've ever had to run a meeting according to parliamentary procedures, you know just how difficult it is to keep track of all the rules, much less follow them. Figuring out what to say and how to say it seems an impossible task.
Robert's Rules in Plain English, 2nd edition, is the solution to that problem. Not only does it provide you with the essential, basic rules in simple, straightforward English, it also includes summaries, outlines, charts, and sample dialogues so you can see exactly how these rules work in practice.
With an extended glossary and new chapters on electronic meetings and internet usage, Robert's Rules in Plain English, 2nd edition, is an authoritative, modern guide to running a meeting successfully and keeping it on track.

I wanted a simple and straightforward explanation of the basics, and this book delivered. It's an easy read, and will be invaluable as a reference in the future.

If you are new to Robert's Rules, this is the best introduction. It covers all areas and summarizes key points and provides lucid examples of putting it in action. Of course it doesn't cover all the material of the main version of RR, but it's the best place to start. It will probably give 95% of people all they need w/o having to muddle through the RR original (which is tedious.)
I've also read RR in Brief, and I much prefer Plain English because it is written in a more engaging style and offers higher quality examples. Start here, and then decide if you really need the full version (which is available at most libraries if you only need it occasionally.)

I received this book in good condition. It was at a reasonable price, and arrived quickly.

I love running the Executive Board meetings at my non-commercial radio station using Robert's Rules of Order. But the bottom line is the full version is VERY full... Quite long and you probably don't need ALL of that detail.
This book is a super quick read and wonderful companion to Robert's Rules for those who don't need to get into the nitty gritty of parlimentary procedure, but still need to get their group more organized and on track.

Great resource for anyone wanting to learn more about running meetings in an organizational setting. Seems to me lots of meeting attendees think they know how to make motions and take actions but in my experence most meeting attendees do not know the basic rules of order. I use this small easy to understand book monthly as a reference at my Chamber of Commerce. A must have if you serve as a member of any Board of Directors or formal meeting group.
