I bought this book because of the hard cover. This book has pictures that give visuals to misleading codes to clear up confussion. It has a feel of a text book because it has sample question & answers and how the answer was found. This is a great book for everyone in the electrical field. Worth the extra money verses the soft cover.

The NEC 2008 Handbook is a great book. It's the best non-addictive cure for insomnia since Benadryl. It's thick enough to be used as a pillow -- and yet, at the same time, its hard cover makes it an ideal lap table for working while commuting via bus or rail. It's heavy enough to be used as both a doorstop and a weapon of self-defense.
The story line is a little weak in places, and I don't think we'll ever see a movie version of it, but I predict that it will be invaluable to archaeologists 2000 years from now. (Honestly, I'm not sure how to review a handbook for the National Electric Code, but I can say that the explanatory text and accompanying illustrations make the Code do a good job of explaining the Code and, hopefully, making it easier to remember.)

The NEC Handbook is a large book that won't fit into your toolbox but it is a good reference and project planning resource. I found the explanations to be clear and, in my case as an occasional electrician, apropos for my objectives. The graphics and use of color in diagrams adds to the quality experience when using the book. Eric R. Lewis, Ph. D.

I bought this book for my class. This book contains the latest standards in the electrical industry. The pictures in the book also give you a head start on working with circuits.

This is not a book for the average do-it-yourself. It is, however, the Bible for professional and apprentice electricians, engineers, professional inspectors, and construction professionals who design, build, maintain, and approve residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural electrical systems.
If you are just looking to remodel your bathroom you don't need to buy this book---though you may want to refer to it. If you are making a living in the construction trades, then this book is an essential part of your toolbox. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-08-07 03:21:25 EST)

I like the NEC because it is a guide for preforming electrical jobs in the workplace. If I don't know the local jurisdiction's preference, I can use the NEC and proceed from there with little fear of reprisal from those concerned authorities. I like the fact that there is a national standard that field techs can refer to for quick reference and guidance on job assignments. This book can save a lot of telephoning for answers to electrical questions.

The explainations aid with the technical aspects of the code.
If you are not already in the trade, it won't be much help. Definatley not for the "do-it-yourselfer" or for the "jack of all trades". It may give someone pause enough to hire a professional rather than attempting to do the work themselves. Not a bad thing when it comes to electric work.

I bought this book recently as a gift for my husband who is a master electrician. He loves this book!!! Its a great reference because it provides pictures and blue prints on exaclty what the code is explaining. If your in this trade, you cannot live with out this book. Its definetely an updated version from the NEC 2005!

This book is a must have.... That's why I can hardly wait to get one! Seriously, if you are an electrician and need to argue your case to an inspector this book (if it's like all it's predecessors) is the authority to help the inspector see your reasoning. After all, this book was written by the NFPA (The same agency that produces the NEC)! If you are an apprentice then you should buy this book instead of the 2008 NEC Code Book. This book has detailed explanations, pictures, and examples to help you understand most if not all the legalese found in the code. It also has the complete 2008 NEC text. If you want to be an expert on electrical code then this is the text for you!
