The previous reviewer (Boothe) is greatly mistaken about the purpose and quality of this book. Although i do not own this edition, previous editions have always been excellent. Apparently he did not realize that the National Electrical Safety Code is specifically written for utility workers, lineman, substation maintenance and construction, power generation etc. The National Electrical Code is the designated code for non-utility wiring. To rate this publication poorly because HE mistook its purpose is grossly unfair to the many talented authors of this handbook.

I just purchased this handbook and I would say that it is worth the money. It is not a replacement to the IEEE NESC but a very important reference material. This book has excellent drawings and pictures to expound on the various subjects. I like it very much and I would recommend it to anyone who is involved in the operation, engineering, and maintenance work on any electric utility facilities. Of course, NEC and NESC can't be compared.

I bought this book for the PE exam. I did not use it like I thought I would but just studying it I found it easy to read and understand.

Great handbook. Some of the more commonly used sections have more details, some things less commonly referenced have little to no details. The negative reviewer obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. This book covers exactly what it's supposed to. I wouldn't want a person who doesn't even know the difference between NESC and NEC to do ANY kind of electrical work. The only thing to really note is that the book is seriously small. The pictures make it appear to be a full sized text book but it's really about half size. That's not a big deal but I just was a little surprised when I got it. Like the other review said though, this is not a substitute for the IEEE NESC book, but appears to provide a good overview of what are probably the more commonly referenced rules.

I have not read this book, but I noticed the first review bashes it because he wants practical-wiring NEC regulations. The NESC addresses design requirements up to the service point, and does not deal with "how-to" regulations beyond the service point (which are covered seperately by the NEC). His review is simply inapplicable.

Perfect. Exactly as described and i received it in a few days! Thank you.

I would have liked to review this product but I never received it and never received a response from the seller. I attempted to purchase the book from one of the other seller that appeared on the Amazon site. I think twice now when I try to by from someone other than Amazon.

This book sucks! It is not at all what I thought it was! This book is for linemen, who needs information about pole-line construction? Not Me! I need informatin on the National Electrical Code! A greater detail of the chapters in the book would have been very helpful. I oredered the National Electrical Code Handbook from the National Fire Protection Agency just to insure I will get what I truley need!
