'Robert's' Is Important To Know If Management is Your Bag - By: A.Trendl HungarianBookstore.com, 19 Mar 2004 
While there certainly are other options to understanding parliamentary procedure, "Robert's Rules of Order (Newly Revised, 10th Edition)" is a traditional key to knowing the ways things are done.
True, true... this isn't exactly the sort of book you bring to a coffeehouse on a Saturday. However, it is also true that if you are part of an organization that has organized meetings, 'Robert's Rules' is a great place to start. The liturgy of meeting procedure starts & finishes with the rules set forthin 'Robert's Rules.'
Get this book, but consider getting one of the plain English versions as well. If you are new to parliamentary procedure, you'll find both booksin tandem quite helpful.
I fully recommend, "Robert's Rules of Order (Newly Revised, 10th Edition)" by Henry M. Robert III.

Robert's Rules of Order Meet an unruly fraternity. - By: , 02 Apr 1998 
That's correct! Time after time I had attended my weekly fraternity meetings only to leave realizing that nothing had been accomplished. Their were too many opinions, & too little time to hear everyone without order. This led me to one of my professors who suggested I purchase a copy of the the nearly-ancient "Robert's Rules of Order". Upon completion I began to instill the timeless routines outlinedin this classic. And before I knew it we were operating like the British Parliament. Surprisingly, this text was a very easy read & it's outline for conduct was convincingly effective. I must recommend to all of you who find yourselves immersedin chaos.
