2005 Electrical Code Book	Customer Rating:
I have been getting code books since 1965, it seems that they have tripled in size, I'm glad the price hasn't. Good value

NEC 2005 Handbook of limited value

Customer Rating:

I have had my master electrician license for 21 years but needed to study for a master license in another state. I have been an electrical contractor and state electrical inspector. I studied for about 100 hours using the regular codebook and I used this "handbook" as a reference. I was very disappointed in that almost every single time I had a question or something was unclear there was absolutely no reference to the "complex" issue. It seemed like the obvious was explained in "other words" but the hard stuff was ignored. I realize "hard stuff" is subjective and my review acknowledges that. In this handbook the simplistic issues are reiterated or a picture is shown which is probably great for beginners or apprentices. I'm not sure why there is almost no clarification or examples regarding the more complicated code issues and almost no useful load, feeder or building service calculations. I would recommend not relying on this book if you want to pass a master test.

Very Good Reference Book for Electricians	Customer Rating:
This book is fine, it was a little bit expensive though.

this is the top of the line	Customer Rating:
this is everything i would ask for in a code book. it has details and is very comprehensive. this code book is great for keeping everything up to code.in reality sometimes compromises need to be make for pratical sake, electical inspectors i've dealt with understand that too. sure follow the book to perfectlly in a test exam but in real life something are not going to be happening.
