Summary: A Good Resource for the Toolbox
Review: An up-to-date NEC book is essential if you don't have everything from the code memorized. This handy book covers all of the basics for residential wiring. Even if you have some general guides on wiring (and there are some good ones out there), and you are a weekend warrior, you really must have the code handy. (A hint...read it BEFORE you start the job! I've ripped out a few jobs after discovering my work didn't pass code.)This book is also helpful when the inspector drops by for a friendly visit. Point out in the book what you understood from the code. You'll have something more than your gut instinct to back you up on your job. My only quibble is the book only hits 90% of the code. There are some important details you're going to have to consult the big code book on every once in a while. Otherwise, an excellent tool to go along with the voltage tester. Highly Recommended.
