Corrections in the Fifth Printing of the Tenth Edition
The fifth (and subsequent) printings of the Tenth Edition
of Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised contain a number of corrections.
(It's easy to tell what "printing" of the 10th edition you have: on
the back of the title page, it is the first number on the bottom line.)
Most of the corrections are of typographical and minor
formatting errors, with no conceivable substantive impact. They are not noted
here. A few, however, are worthy of note because they correct reference pages
(particularly in the index) or for other reasons.
They are listed below so that if you have a printing
earlier than the fifth you may, if you wish, note them in your copy:
-
p. xxvi, l. 10: strike out "law" and
insert "in the nature of a body of law"
-
p. 65, l. 33: strike out "the same or the next
day" and insert "later within the same session* "
-
p.65, at the bottom: insert as footnote "*

printings."

parenthetical reads "(10, 54, 56)"

As a matter of policy, the rules in the body of RONR's
text are not changed in different printings of the same edition, so that any
copy of the same edition will remain equally authoritative. Corrections in the
Introduction or Index do not violate this policy, since they do not affect the
rules themselves – nor, for the same reason, do typographical or formatting
corrections. Nor do the corrections noted above with regard to Fix the Time
to Which to Adjourn, since they simply correct a summary table in the tinted
pages and the brief summary in section 6 to conform to the principal statement
of the rules governing the motion in section 22. Nevertheless, to avoid any
confusion that might come from comparing the text in an earlier printing with
that in a later one, brief explanatory footnotes have been added to the latter
corrections.
Permission is hereby granted to parliamentary and other
publications to reprint "Corrections in the Fifth Printing" so long as
it is attributed to the Official Robert's Rules of Order Website,
www.robertsrules.com., posted February 11, 2002.

"It is recommended that
each officer of an organization
obtain a copy of the 176 page
Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised in
Brief (RONRIB) to use as a meeting guide. Interested members who wish to
participate fully in meetings will find it to be invaluable. This
'in brief' book is one of the best values around! For more in-depth
information, you will also want a paperback copy of the 704 page
Robert's Rules
of Order Newly Revised (RONR) to be used as a reference (when more
information is needed), which the 'in brief' book cross references and refers to
by page and line number. If you are serious about parliamentary procedure, buy
the long-lasting hardcover edition
of RONR as a reference book for your personal library.
RONR is the book to use
if Robert's Rules of Order is designated in your bylaws as your parliamentary
authority."
-- Rod G Davidson, Professional Registered Parliamentarian

Finally! Published in 2004, this simple and concise,
user-friendly guide covers the basics of conducting and participating in
meetings of any size. Written by the same authorship team as
Robert's Rules of Order Newly
Revised (RONR), this short easy-to-read guide covers the essentials
on the rules most frequently used at meetings. At 176 pages, this handy pocket
manual is roughly one-fourth the number of pages of
RONR, yet this
brief guide is entirely consistent with the larger 704 page
RONR, something
that cannot be said for other short books on parliamentary procedure.
RONR,
Henry M. Robert's classic guide to smooth, orderly, and fairly conducted
meetings, was originally published in 1896 and has sold close to 5 million
copies in nine editions. This 704 page, 10th edition, Parliamentary Authority
will continue the book's reputation as the gold standard of meeting procedure
for professional parliamentarians and novice club presidents and members alike.
