National Electrical Code 2008 (National Fire Protection Association National Electrical Code)

I needed this book for my required continuing education units to renew my license in the state of Oklahoma. The price was right, and if I had thought about it sooner (ha, ha) I would not have needed second day shipping and saved even more. Great product, great price.

When I ordered paperback (bound as from publisher) and the book arrived looseleaf punched for a 3-ring binder, we didn't know until we opened it. I posted a review here to save others from the same problem but don't see it anymore. I know that Amazon will get a handle on all the different formats this book come in, and when tabs can be used. The info is available on the NFPA website so it should be easy.

I gave the 3-ring binder version to a buddy so now I want to buy AND RECEIVE the bound conventional paperback version but I can't get an answer from Amazon if the problem is corrected. I don't want to order again and get another looseleaf copy.

book came in great condition. Took a long time to get the book, but other then that was very satisfied.

This is a very dry book. It is obvious since it is basically a rules and regulations book. Sometimes it is hard to tell what they are trying to tell you cause it is so dry and technical. The best book to get for reference is the hard cover version. It has pictures and highlighted important stuff. It really helps when you are trying to decipher the codes.

If you are going to do any electrical work in your home or garage, I highly recommend this publication. Some of the wording and references take some thought to decipher, but this book will save you headaches down the road, either with current electrical code inspections, or selling your home later on.
