Does anyone have any practical experience with this book as a parliamentary authority?  Its simplicity and brevity are attractive, but I'd like to hear from groups that have actually used it (Google hasn't been much help in that regard).

Others' impressions are welcome, too.

Thanks
Neil

I have not seen this book and would not mind looking through it. Could it be available through Amazon? I will try and find it and maybe comment on it. If something has brevity and clarity it bears looking into. Paul 

I found some on Amazon books and ordered one. They are inexpensive so I will add it to my collection and read thru it when it arrives. Then do a book report. Also will check out site suggested. Paul

Paul, did you get the book? If you haven't yet done a book report, that would be a great addition to the Parliamentary Journal. Contact the editor at pjeditor@aipparl.org!

I did get the book. It is short, concise and an excellent starter book. Buy it before the larger Roberts or Standard then get one of them later. It has the same weakness as the larger manuals in that it "seems" to agree that debate can be cut off before every voting member, who wishes to speak, has spoken. ie Previous Question's 2/3 vote. They need to clarify that.
