 Quality Book February 22, 2010
J. Myers (Portland, IN)
The book came as expected and was in good condition. I like the tips printed in the book that help to explain the regulations the best. Good work!
 The book rocks! February 18, 2010

I have purchased the NEC handbook ever since the format changed in 1999. This book is just as informative and useful as every other year.
The pictures along with the text explanations leave little to ponder. This is a nice tool to have when the AHJ or Engineer wants to give you his/her opinion on what the NFPA 'meant'.
I have been able to convince more than once Inspector that my installation was EXACTLY what the NFPA 'meant' after showing them the pictures and explanations in the handbook.
The only drawback is that other electricians in our local call me to ask my code advice because they know I have the handbook. I tell them, "buy your own darned book"! :)

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.
