About Us

Welcome to HoustonParliamentarian.com – your independent corner of the internet devoted to all things political books and political stationery & campaign supplies.

Who We Are

We’re a small team of policy wonks, librarians, and former campaign staffers who share one obsession: well-researched writing instruments and the printed words that shape civic life. Based in Houston, we spend our evenings poring over legislative histories, block-printing note cards, and—most importantly—reading every political title we can get our hands on.

What We Do

  1. Curated Book Reviews
    • New releases, hidden classics, and timeless political theory—summarized and critiqued so you can decide what to read next.
  2. Stationery Spotlights
    • From fountain pens that survive filibusters to recycled‐paper postcards perfect for lobbying your representative, we profile the tools that keep democracy inked.
  3. Resource Round-Ups
    • Need campaign buttons, yard signs, or parliamentary procedure cheat sheets? We compile the best vendors and price ranges so you don’t have to dig.

What We Don’t Do

  • No Ownership Stakes: We don’t produce, publish, or sell any of the items we feature.
  • No Product Testing Labs: We review through research—publisher data, author interviews, user feedback, and publicly available specs. There’s no in-house durability or performance testing.
  • No Paid Endorsements Hidden in Fine Print: If a post contains affiliate links or sponsored content, it’s flagged up-front in bold. Transparency keeps our analysis trustworthy.

Why Trust Us?

  • Research First – Every review cites verifiable sources: academic journals, industry reports, or the book itself.
  • Zero Paywalls – Democratic literacy should be free. All guides remain open-access.
  • Reader Feedback Loop – Comment, email, or tweet us corrections. We update articles within 48 hours when new facts emerge.
