All of them.

Can't apply the rules (case book) until you lear them (rule book). My advice is take a rule and study it. Then, go to the case book to prove to yourself how very little you learned. Rinse and repeat.

The rules by topic book is a collation of the rule book and case book around common topics (hence the title). In some ways it's a more straightforward trip through the entire rule book than rule 1 to rule 10.

It's what I use to review the rules before each season.

In the NY Public Library the oldest book with American football rules they had, from the late 1880s IIRC, presented the rules in rearranged form, saying the author's ordering made it easier to follow. It gave the official numbers for reference, though.
