This review is from: Step-by-Step Wiring (Better Homes & Gardens Step-By-Step) (Paperback)

Very happy with this purchase. It is loaded with clear discussions of basic home wiring concepts and very good diagrams. Easy to understand and find what you're interested in.

One thing to keep in mind, there is only so much detail and instruction you can get from this kind of book. For code-related questions or more complex wiring, it gets (by necessity) vague and generalized. Not suprising considering the complexity of national and local codes. Still, for someone trying to understand their home wiring, troubleshoot it, or plan basic projects, I think it's a good buy.
