Summary: Too little information
Review: Basic Wiring was and is a major disappointment.
Much of the 128 pages are dedicated to pictorials of electrical components.
The photographs are of high quality, but who wants to know what the"face plate of a manual timer switch" looks like?
That took up half a page.
Too basic to help any one but the totally uninformed.
Rating: 
Summary: OK book

Summary: Excellent reference.
Review: I had done some wiring before I got this book, but I wanted a reference that I could use if there was something that I was at all unsure of. Once I got the book, I was very pleased with all the handy hints and illustrations. Definitely worth having it around if you're a novice electrician.

Summary: excellent for beginners
Review: This is easily the best basic introduction I've seen. Clear, well-illustrated, neither assuming prior experience nor treating the reader as a dummy, it can take you from Zero to rewiring branch circuits with confidence and safety. I really can't recommend it highly enough! I already had experience, but picked up useful bits from it, and have loaned a copy to several friends. The T/L Home Repair and Improvement series is good in general (more than I can say for most series), but especially this volume.
