A must have!
By AVLX8D71201PT on 2008-01-23
This book is a must have.... That's why I can hardly wait to get one! Seriously, if you are an electrician and need to argue your case to an inspector this book (if it's like all it's predecessors) is the authority to help the inspector see your reasoning. After all, this book was written by the NFPA (The same agency that produces the NEC)! If you are an apprentice then you should buy this book instead of the 2008 NEC Code Book. This book has detailed explanations, pictures, and examples to help you understand most if not all the legalese found in the code. It also has the complete 2008 NEC text. If you want to be an expert on electrical code then this is the text for you!
Makes a great gift for an electrician!!!
By A1IJ4BZH803TAP on 2008-02-22
I bought this book recently as a gift for my husband who is a master electrician. He loves this book!!! Its a great reference because it provides pictures and blue prints on exaclty what the code is explaining. If your in this trade, you cannot live with out this book. Its definetely an updated version from the NEC 2005!
NEC 2008 Handbook
By A3F7JEVWE4HYZO on 2008-07-23
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 essential part of your toolbox.
Handbook is a usefull tool
By A33XEOM904S1TM on 2008-09-30
The NEC Handbook is a large book that won't fit into your toolbox but it is a good reference and project planning resource. I found the explanations to be clear and, in my case as an occasional electrician, apropos for my objectives. The graphics and use of color in diagrams adds to the quality experience when using the book. Eric R. Lewis, Ph. D.
not bad
By A22KOSOCPG88GO on 2008-02-26
The explainations aid with the technical aspects of the code.
If you are not already in the trade, it won't be much help.
Definatley not for the "do-it-yourselfer" or for the "jack of all trades".
It may give someone pause enough to hire a professional rather than attempting to do the work themselves.
Not a bad thing when it comes to electric work.
