Great guide for the DIYer
Great guide for most household electrical work. Make sure to get the NEC code book too. While this guide is good you also need to know the code.

Great resource for the casual electrician
The book has a lot of the information I was looking for to complete my garage re-purposing into a workshop/UAV production line. I knew there were things wrong with my existing setup; this book allowed me to confirm everything I thought was wrong. From the sub-panel to the wire that was used, almost nothing is right. The book covers codes which is essential to my remodel. I want to do things right the first time and make sure I can pass an inspection.I could say that the part covering network setups is a bit lacking and downright simplistic. Then again, I work managing networks and wiring ethernet cables among other things so I would not fault the book for lacking advance network concepts. For those looking for a head start, the content is very good.

I do electrical and this book is the best one I have received. It’s very easy to use and understand.
This book covers what you need to know to do the job right. Lots of diagrams with understandable information. A good refresher to make sure your not missing something even if you have done it before.

Detailed color pictures
I like this book because it's easy to understand the diagrams and the full color pictures are up close and easy to decipher. I wish there was information on installing a exterior breaker service box and building a temp pole service panel box as this isn't covered at all but the book is well written and talks about other areas in detail.

Diagrams were super helpful
I thought the diagrams included helped explain some mysteries as I looked into my outlets. I have a mid-century ranch, and an outlet in each room is switched for a lamp. This helped me trace down some issues inside the boxes, etc. Well worth the money in my opinion.
