This book was fine. It served an important role for me, as I needed to have a better idea of what parlaimentary procedure looked like. Its very short, and readable, and I trust hits the major components of what I need to know.

(It does beg the question - what do the other 700 odd pages of the real thing contain?)

I don't actually feel that confident. In some ways, all these rules feel too hard to remember to me. I suppose I should dig up a cheat sheet. Still, for a brief foray, it definitely did the job.

Quick read. Somewhat information dense but it leaves a lot of holes and it's somewhat hard to retain, but it's a great overview. It might be better the second time around, but I won't be reading it again.
