4.0 out of 5 stars Electricians Pocket Manual, March 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Audel Electricians Pocket Manual (Paperback)

This book is typical of the Audels books in that it fairly concisely covers the important areas of the topic. It is a resource book that most people could use for several years before needing to go to another reference for technical aspects.

1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated and should NOT be used!, August 17, 2007

This review is from: Audel Electrician's Pocket Manual (Paperback)

The NEC is updated every 3 years, the 2008 is out and shipped in October 2007. The states usually take a year or so to review and adopt, but the 2002 should not be used. This is misleading saying it is "updated", since it is annotation the 2002 version! Sorry but I have to give it a 1 star to get peoples attention. If the author has a 2005/2008 edition, please buy that instead, or you might not be in code!
