Format:Paperback
This book has got to be one of the best illustrated wiring books. I have used this book for multiple minor projects. The photographs allow you to follow closely and clearly as to the correct process for wiring. I lost my 1st book to rain, just ordering my office reference book now. Now I have a "working copy" and a home reference copy (safetly tucked away). The book is good enought that I bought it twice.

The Stanley Complete Wiring Book is great for tackling the weekend projects all the way to completely wiring an entire house.
The book is laid out in easy to find sections with easy to follow instructions and detailed steps. The pages are not cheap, thin pages but heavy, glossy, easy to turn pages. The book has over 800 full-color pictures and detailed illustrations.
Whatever your project is, you can find it in this book. Each project begins with a prestart checklist and tips. It also includes problem solving and explains options. At the end of the book, it includes metric conversions.
Sections include:
Working Safely, Getting Ready, Checking Your Electrical System, Basic Techniques, Repairs, Switches and Receptacles, Lights and Fans, Planning New Electrical Service, Installing Cable and Boxes, New Receptacles and Lights, Installing Fans and Heaters, Household Voice, Data and Security, Outdoor Wiring, and Appliances and New Circuits
This book has everything a homeowner needs to know about wiring. Good book. Highly recommend.

I picked up this book from the library a few months back, and I was a bit disappointed with it because it really didn't tell me much that I didn't already know. (I'm a trade school student of electrical installation with 1 year experience)
I'm not saying this is a bad book, not at all. It's a great reference book for the person who wants to do some of the most basic work in the electrical field.
I actually own this advanced level of this book Stanley Advanced Wiring: Pro Tips and Simple Steps (ISBN 0696213184)
That books is for the person who doesn't mind cutting holes in their walls and getting their hands dirty.
