Product Description:
The 1990, ninth edition, of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised is the only currently authoritative volume to contain the complete Robert’s Rules of Order subject matter. It has been totally reset and redesigned for easier use. This ninth edition supersedes all previous editions and automatically becomes the parliamentary authority in organizations whose bylaws prescribe Robert’s Rules of Order.This edition has been updated to address common inquiries, and it incorporates new rules, interpretations, and procedures made necessary by the evolution of parliamentary procedure. Among the more important areas of revision are: more modern and appropriate usage is given for the chair’s invitation to members to speak in debate or offer secondary motions after stating the question on a motion the rule relating to the power of replacement of members on committees by the appointing authority is clarified formal recognition is given to the practice of sending a suggested agenda to members in advance of a meeting a subsection of hints to inexperienced presiding officers had been improved greater prominence is given to rules relating to the growing practice of nominating for office by petition specifications are provided for methods of expediting roll-call voting in very large conventions and calling a roll by delegation rather than by individuals In addition, the ninth edition of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised includes a special section, printed on tinted paper, which summarizes rules related to motions for quick and easy access.
Amazon.com Review:
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 new revised editon is clearly written, concise, well indexed and easy to follow even for a neophyte like me. I actually enjoyed reading and browsing through it, rare for a textbook. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of parliamentary guidelines.

As a source, Robert's Rules is the definitive answer to all things parliamentary procedure. I have used this guide in all the work that I have done in the competitive realm of congressional debate. With a competitive use of these rules for academic purposes, changes have to be made to allow for a fuller use for debating teams and individuals. But when any question arises over what certain steps should be taken, no matter how unusual the circumstance, Robert's Rules has the correct and most widely accepted answers for all the parli pro that is needed.
This edition, unlike so many other books which claim to answer procedure, has all the answers in a very extensive format. This work also includes helpful tables and example forms at the end of the book for easy reference, as well as a great index covering the entirety of the book if you must find a procedure which you cannot identify from the table to contents.
This is a must for anyone who wants to know what to do in any environment which needs to adhere to specific parli pro!

I bought this book because I had used it previously in my employment years ago.
It's a great argument solver, and there are no questions asked when you "quote" from the book. Haven't found anything it doesn't solve if you are willing to check it out.
