Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Greatest Code Book!
I bought this book because of the hard cover. This book has pictures that give visuals to misleading codes to clear up confussion. It has a feel of a text book because it has sample question & answers and how the answer was found. This is a great book for everyone in the electrical field. Worth the extra money verses the soft cover.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I laughed, I cried
The NEC 2008 Handbook is a great book. It's the best non-addictive cure for insomnia since Benadryl.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Handbook is a usefull tool
The NEC Handbook is a large book that won't fit into your toolbox but it is a good reference and project planning resource.

The graphics and use of color in diagrams adds to the quality experience when using the book. Eric R. Lewis, Ph. D.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Book
I bought this book for my class. This book contains the latest standards in the electrical industry. The pictures in the book also give you a head start on working with circuits.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - NEC 2008 Handbook
This is not a book for the average do-it-yourself. It is, however, the Bible for professional and apprentice electricians, engineers, professional inspectors, and construction professionals who design, build, maintain, and approve residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural electrical systems.

If you are just looking to remodel your bathroom you don't need to buy this book---though you may want to refer to it. If you are making a living in the construction trades, then this book is an ... Read More
