Books Wiring A House (For Pros by Pros)
Books and Publications Average Rating:

Rating: - Good supplement to a code book

Lots of good reviews here already. I would add that this shouldn't be
the only book you get. It's got lots of really good tips that you
don't find other places, but it is by no means a substitute for a
good NEC code book or textbook like Ray Mullin's.

It's also an intermediate book and assume that you know something.
If you grab Fine Homebuilding every month, you're the ideal reader.

Rating: - Excellent book for the DIY'er
An excellent book for doing home wiring projects. The photos and diagrams are very helpful, and the tone of the book isn't in the oft-used "you will die if you do your own wiring" style. He does explain the dangers involved, and suggests that some projects are beyond the average DIY'er (service-from-the-pole installation being one, in my opinion...stay on your side of the master breaker), but not in a Cassandra-ish way. The "above code" sections are also useful for doing an above average job, especially as the author explains the "why."

After following the suggestions and instruction in the book (which, you should read through completely before starting a job), I've gotten several compliments from licensed electritians about my work.

Rating: - Great reference for intermediate to rooky
This is a very readable, very well organized how-to book. Anecdotes help illustrate the points and Rex covers a little of practical real-world stuff that is missing from other wiring guides. Clear diagrams and photos. Best of over ten recent books that I surveyed - I bought this one and use it often.
