The first "Robert's Rules of Order" was published by Henry M Roberts in 1876. While many copycats have been published since then, the 12th edition (ivory cover with gold lettering) is the only officially authorized version. It is published by the Robert's Rules Association.
"Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (12th ed.)" [Ivory cover] and "Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised In Brief (3rd ed.)"[Yellow cover] are available for purchase at <https://www.parliamentarians.org> and Amazon, including digital editions.
