Ratings and reviews

Even though it's a 6th edition, it doesn't cover any of the newer style WiFi switches or even switches that require neutral connection. It would have been nice to know this before I purchased this book.

Ignoring the myriad editing errors, the biggest deficit of this work is a lack of foundations of electricity and electrical systems; additionally, many of the restrictions presented in the text lack rationale, preventing a thorough understanding why one must follow the prescriptions.

The free sample is a picture of the front cover. Not happy. Should give a view of one or two real pages of what is being offered.
