Wordy, but good.. October 31, 2009

As a veteran of two ICC code exam certifications I am pretty good navigating the NEC. It is wordy, redundant in places, and sometimes not easy to get a straight answer. Yet it is still the clearest of all electrical code manuals I've seen(and I've seen alot of them) What alot of laymen don't realize is that for the most part local code supercedes the NEC so this book is not always the final word for a homeowner doing some electrical work. However, anybody with a little electrical background should be able to use the NEC to get their project going the right way. I would still recommend calling in an inspector anywhere you are unsure. Most of the electrical I do now is basement and garage remodels so I don't need to use the code book much anymore, but I prefer a spiral bound book because they are much easier to lay flat(obviously)
While sometimes the book reads like a newbe to English wrote it, this is still a valuable tool to both the pro and homeowner.

The book is difficult to read, but it contains all the necessary information for the electrician.
NEC 2008 CD May 28, 2009

As an owner/builder, this CD version of the 2008 NEC code is just what I needed to work through the electrical phase of my project. The code is searchable and picking through it to find what I needed was fairly simple. I used this CD in conjunction with an excellent book by Ray Mullin - Electrical Wiring Residential. The book and this CD are perfect partners and all I needed. I also have the IECC and IRC on CD. The limitation to only 2 product loads of the NEC with the CD key might be irritating for some people. In my case it needed to be loaded on only one computer and wasn't an issue. I'm guessing if you called the provided phone number, you would be able to explain and exceed that limitation for further loads. 2 load limitation takes away a star.
Codes by any other name are still codes. April 6, 2009

The 2008 NEC is full of interesting rules and regulations for the electrical industry.
Most of these rules and regulations make good sense others make someone good cents.
In any case, the rules must be followed or you will not get service connected in legal installations.
