A great introduction to Robert's Rules of Order. This isn't exactly pleasure reading, but when you need it you need it.

I would have liked to see a table at the end, instead of prose, describing summary information about which motions are debatable, amendable, require 2/3 vote, etc. Similarly, there should be a quick reference chart somewhere of which motions have higher priority, and which motions can be made if a specific motion is on the floor.

It wasn't all I needed to organize and conduct a meeting. As a parliamentarian, I needed just a little more specifics and RONR-type wording for the things that come up. But I think it's a great resource for beginners who rather not read Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised.
