 Very Helpful October 11, 2009

As a general contractor, I need to keep up on all the codes, electrical included. This book, while more expensive than the regular NEC 2008 code book provides narrative to explain the intent of a particular code item and also provides many color pictures to better clarify the code item. I find it very useful since if you have ever read a code book, they are not the most clearly written books out there. I've used the handbook version of the NEC on more than one occasion to correct an electrician as well as electrical inspectors. I believe it's a must have if you are in the building trade to have in your library. Not so much if you are a homeowner trying to do your own electrical work. There are "How To" books out there to assist you with you electrical projects.
Good Price October 8, 2009

The NEC Code Handbook in not a novel or product to compare with others. What I can compare is price. I could not find this handbook for a cheeper price on-line anywhere. Buying from Amazon provided a substantial discount over other souces. If you are in the electrical business(engineering, installation, etc.) this handbook is a must for understanding the NEC Code.

This is the Bible of the electricians world. I'd rather read this, than a novel. Why? Because I'd rather learn how things work than a mindless story about Harry Potter or Twilight Vampires.
but that's just me.
