Summaries and Customer Reviews provided by Amazon
SummaryOne of the most daunting endeavors for any would-be do-it-yourselfer is dealing with the electrical--namely, electrical repairs, improvements, and wiring and rewiring projects. The reason for this is simple: mistakes can cause fires, major disasters and expense, and even death. But anyone can learn about safe and correct wiring in order to complete repairs or add new wiring to an aging and inadequate system. This is the book to show you how, from the basics of how electricity works and simple repairs and projects, all the way to complicated rewiring you might otherwise assume must be done by a professional. Included are the most up-to-date electrical code requirements; guides to evaluating, planning, and installing new electrical circuits; repair advice on switches, receptacles, and fixtures; and a detailed and well-illustrated lighting design section. A total of 288 pages of hundreds of illustrations and photographs and a comprehensive reference index make this an ideal book for the beginner, and an up-to-date refresher course for the professional. --Mark A.

Average Rating: 
Great Book!...could use more specifie codes
Rating:
This is no doubt a great reference book. This book shows you basic wiring techniques. It also has many, more in depth wiring techniques, that can be used in a new or used home. This book has great illustrations and diagrams which are very useful, even if you want to rewire your entire home. Although this book at is great at demonstrating basic wiring techniques, there is still some information left out. This book could, but is not required to, have more in depth wiring codes for 2009. This book does give you basic wiring procedures and codes, but does not list the full range of wiring codes for 2009. Non the less, this book is awesome. It will show you simple to complex wiring and does, literally, illustrate basic wiring diagrams for the most common wiring techniques. I rate this book 5/5, but a 2009 code book is also recommended to help facilitate all up to date wiring codes.
I strongly recommend this book to the beginner or anyone who who is interested in wiring procedures.
Very descriptive
Rating: 
The book has tons and tons of photos and explains things to the point that people with no previous knowledge should be able to understand.

im taking an electrical course in NYC and this is for a NEC 2008, we are 3 years behind which means we use the NEC 2005... my question is should I buy or what... ita an intersting book but i dont want to follow and incorrect form in using the regulation of what NEC 2005 needs. I know there is a violation and its prohitied if an electrician in NYC follows the NEC 2008 what should I do???
Usually ships within 1 to 4 months?!?!

Make sure you note the fact that this book will not arrive at your door tomorrow or next week or the week after that. I ordered it on September 8th and the delivery estimate is between tomorrow and December 14th. I'm canceling the order and going to the bookstore where I originally saw it, for five dollars more. I think, in this case, the extra money is worth it. Seriously, Amazon, FOUR MONTHS? Is this the 1800s? Do you need to send out to the nearest printing press to get it done up? For that amount of wait, I half expect this thing to be leather-bound with various precious gems inlaid into the cover. Jesus.
This book is excellent
