A precedent book is a document recording procedural, legal or constitutional precedents.

Such a book may have significant constitutional effects, such as the UK's Precedent Book (or Rule book),[1] written by the Cabinet Office since 1977.[2] Its archive files are subject to 30-year closure, unless otherwise stated.[3]
