Black & Decker Advanced Home Wiring

December 15, 2008
If you are a serious home renovator, at ease with home wiring, this book is for you. Originally published in 1992, this second edition includes many updates, such as, for example, the new 2008 National Electrical Code. While much of the general advice is exactly the same, new techniques like raceway wiring, surface-mounted wire tape, and home networks have been added. Awkwardly, some photos are dated and show old kitchen appliances. On the other hand, there is no lack of detailed circuit diagrams and excellent instructions. Similar in coverage to Rex Cauldwell's "Wiring a House" but with considerably more illustrations, this is suitable for most public library collections.
