NEC 2008 CD Limited to Two Downloads?
By A279FW3N6CZ3RB on 2008-05-02
The web-based 'key' only lets you install the CD to your hard drive twice. Most of us have a desktop at home and one in the office, plus a laptop for the field. They know this. We need three downloads plus three more for when we upgrade our computer hardware or rebuilkd after a crash. The publisher's tactic is a crime. This will end the era of using any NFPA code materials on my computers, its back to hard copy. AMAZON NEEDS TO STATE THIS TWO-INSTALL LIMITATION IN THIS WEBSITE AD TO PROTECT US. We have no other way to know what we are really buying.
National Electrical Code 2008 Looseleaf Version
By AF9ETQ7FKI7UI on 2008-01-16
The book itself is fine. However, we had problems getting complete copies. Short story, we got several shipments with binders only, no filler. Replacements came in the same condition. Whoever boxed them for shipment didn't pay attention that it was for "books," not binders only. Third time wasn't the charm, we had the backorders cancelled. Regardless of who was "at fault," it created a lot of extra steps to try to resolve the problem. If you order this item, pay attention to what is shipped - don't let it sit for a while before checking the box(es). Again, book "good," packaging "bad."
FLAT is better
By AHLUPMYLKISXO on 2008-05-30
The NEC has gotten so large, that the ability to lay it flat while researching is really nice.
NEC 2008 CD
By A12VJSBZKS1X3T on 2009-05-28
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.
A must have for DIY electrical work
By A2QGRNSMGHOSJ2 on 2008-01-25
If you are going to do any electrical work in your home or garage, I highly recommend this publication. Some of the wording and references take some thought to decipher, but this book will save you headaches down the road, either with current electrical code inspections, or selling your home later on.
- Great buy long shipping
By A2N6WH4Z30HA4J on 2009-12-19
Book arrived in perfect condition but it took 2 weeks for the book to get to me and it was only 1 state away.
- great sale
By A1CQW9NW1JHZFT on 2009-11-01

- You get this for your Jouneymans test but buy the hardcover for reference.
By AZNUHQSHZHSUE on 2008-02-16
This is book is most of the time confusing and hard to decipher. It is obvious since it is basically a rules and regulations book. Sometimes words alone wont don't help me I need to have it drawn out. The best book to get for reference is the hard cover version. It has pictures and highlighted important information. It really helps when you are trying to decipher the codes.
- All the codes - All the time
By A1TBF446Q264X8 on 2010-03-16
According to my electrician this book is THE book when needing to know code for all types of electrical work. A must have for any business.

By AUV5HW43KIGB9 on 2010-02-01
Outstanding! ...seller made sure the item was completely protected during shipment and it was exactly as listed on the amazon site!
- A nice alternative to the pricier binder edition.
By AWCR3NZBX7TTH on 2010-02-01
The paperback version of the NEC code book works well as an office reference manual and is an economical alternative to the pre-tabbed binder edition. Although, I would highly recommend purchasing the tabs to install on this paperback edition in order to cut down on time-consuming searches.
- NEC 2008 paperback
By A8OMZO0SQP6AN on 2009-12-19
the book was in mint condition and after doing a thorough search found it to be the lowest price as well-----AWESOME DEAL!!! WOULD ABSOLUTELY SHOP HERE AGAIN
- National Electrical Code Update
By AOW5YMN9EF5OE on 2009-12-05
This code book has the updated information for electrical codes. All electricians should have it handy. Also, it is a great study guide for anyone who is preparing for a electrical license test.
- Wordy, but good..
By AMPNU149RQBL8 on 2009-10-31
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.
- Good.
By A3DBYLJ8B4GWVE on 2009-11-25
Clear, concise, and easy to read. Strange to say but I wish there were more pictures, however, books like this usually don't have pictures so that's not expected.
- Codes by any other name are still codes.
By A1EVS8FRODO0DW on 2009-04-06
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.
- 2008 National electric Code
By A27FQCAC2C3LXA on 2008-12-24
This is the 2008 version of the National Electric Code that is used as the basis for many local electrical codes. The code provides recommendations for the safe installation of electrical wiring, switching and disconnect equipment and fixed electrical equipment in residences, business locations and specialized locations such as movie and live stage theaters. This material is written for trained electricians and assumes some knowledge of electrical terms, wiring practices, etc.. Non-professionals will probably be better off with one of the many "how-to" guides avaialble.
- N.E.C. code 2008
By A39WQGHVCSCFO5 on 2008-10-18
This is a must have for anyone in the electrical field. My continuing complaint with the N.E.C. is that is seems like it is written by lawyers, instead of electricians. You need to take a course to understand how to retreive the information you are looking for. Without that it's time consuming and incomplete.
- NEC 2008 CD - 4 years of code on 1 CD-ROM - Worth it!
By A3IUCINKOV07GG on 2008-08-23
The National Electrical Code 2008 CD-ROM is actually alot more than just a digital version of the NEC 2008. Along with the ability to Search, print, look up detailed code with bookmarks, copy, and paste you actually get the last 3 editions (1999 - 2002 - 2005) National Electrical Codes so you can lookup and compare the revisions to the code. Alot of people don't know that before buying. Don't worry about messing up the book any more and just print what you need. It's a plus for a larger office. This CD is a must for any electrical contractor.
- Ordered Paperback got Looseleaf - Then Review Deleted
By A279FW3N6CZ3RB on 2008-05-02
When I ordered paperback (bound as from publisher) and the book arrived looseleaf punched for a 3-ring binder, we didn't know until we opened it. I posted a review here to save others from the same problem but don't see it anymore. I know that Amazon will get a handle on all the different formats this book come in, and when tabs can be used. The info is available on the NFPA website so it should be easy.
I gave the 3-ring binder version to a buddy so now I want to buy AND RECEIVE the bound conventional paperback version but I can't get an answer from Amazon if the problem is corrected. I don't want to order again and get another looseleaf copy.

By A18L0Y60I1S681 on 2008-05-12
This book is essential to install electrical installations. It basically was created by the National Fire Protection Agency it explains how to install electrical systems so that you do not burn down the house or building down that you wire. It does not teach you how to be an electrician, but it does give you the basic guidelines legal guidelines as to how to install electrical systems. Sporte1111
- What I needed, Price I wanted.
By AWX68WS6DGFTS on 2008-05-03
I needed this book for my required continuing education units to renew my license in the state of Oklahoma. The price was right, and if I had thought about it sooner (ha, ha) I would not have needed second day shipping and saved even more. Great product, great price.
