5.0 out of 5 stars
Great quality book - oodles better than the paperback version,
By Patrick (Northeast, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: NEC 2005 Handbook: NFPA 70: National Electric Code; International Electrical Code Series (Hardcover)
I bought this book because I am studying to be an electrician. I like it considerably more than the paperback version it is far easier to find section headings and sub-headings when you are looking for something. The paper is strong and glossy-white (as opposed to gray and flimsy in the paperback) and headings are in bold type and indented.
That may not sound like much, but it is many times easier to read this version than the paperback version I was supplied to by my school. The book also features notes about many revisions to the Code from the 2002 edition as well as numerous examples, illustrations, and diagrams of different regulations. The book is very well constructed, albeit, rather large at 1300+ pages. If you need to buy a code book, this one will last a lot longer than the paperback one!

NEC 2005 Handbook of limited value,
This review is from: NEC 2005 Handbook: NFPA 70: National Electric Code; International Electrical Code Series (Hardcover)
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.
