Forget Roberts Rules; The law is the most important set of books everyone has memorized, yet no one has ever read (and cannot easily access even if they wanted.) A few of my favorites from Wikipedia:

> A maximum 900 copies of the Laws of Ohio are published and distributed

> The Ohio Revised Code is not officially printed

I would think that alone would make corporate governance quite difficult in practice. You can download any book off the Internet for extremely cheap, if not free--except the law. Am I alone in thinking this likely causes major problems in a society based upon the "rule of law"? IMO poor corporate governance is just one example of the failure of the rule of law caused by the willful negligence to effectively publish the law which binds us.
