[Joseph Alexander Nagy, Jr. · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm only giving it 4 stars not because of it's immense usefulness to trained electricians, but because the page stock is fairly weak and does not take rapid page flipping very well. Aside from that, this book is a must have for all electricians. With numerous, easy to find updates and deletions and insightful commentary this is /the/ book to have for all electricians.
