While this is available on PDF from the FCC, it is nice to have ARRL's copy of the FCC Rules and Regulations that contain Part 97 that govern the Amateur Radio Service. You need one for your shack.

It is what it is, great price, nicely laid out and accessible. I have no complaints.

I bought this for my Son however from Past experience I have found this to be Very Satisfactory. I would Highly Recommend it.

This book tells you what is legal and not for amateur radio use. Knowing this information is a responsibility of every amateur radio operator.

Frequency bands, locations, when to identify call signs, use of amplifiers, operation during emergencies, this is all shown in black and white here.

If you have ever wondered, which frequency you are authorized to use in ITU Region 2, this has it. (I am laughing now.) Written in mostly plain and simple English, but contains the specific legal coding to let you know what is important and correct. This book will keep you in check and help keep the Feds from busting down your door to confiscate your gear.

Know the law with this book. Get it, know, it , love it, learn it.....etc.

This booklet contains the complete Title 47 Part 97 law that forms the basis of regulation for amateur radio. The book is divided into roughly two equal parts. The last half of the book contains the unexpurgated version of Part 97. The first half of the book contains commentary on the law (by Dan Henderson N1ND)--which is helpful since some regulations are rather obtuse (like the definition of "Line A") and like any other law, the interpretation is subject to, well, interpretation. Anyone contemplating joining the ranks of amateur radio operators would be well advised to obtain a copy of Part 97 and read the law. The modest size of Part 97 is somewhat surprising given the natural tendency of governments to over-regulate. However, the FCC has always relied on the fall-back phrase: "each amateur station must be operated in accordance with good engineering and good amateur practice" SubPart B 97.101a.
