Wiring Simplified: Based on the 2017 National Electrical Code(r)

Thorough, well written, and easy to understand. I've used this for many years when doing home and shop wiring jobs. Unless you're doing something fairly involved, this should have what you need to know. It's significantly less expensive to purchase this at Home Depot. I liked this so much that I purchased the unabridged edition: "Practical Electrical Wiring: Residential, Farm, Commercial, and Industrial" by the same authors. It goes into much more detail and is great if you want to get the deepest understanding possible without becoming an electrician. Expensive, but still a great value if you do much wiring: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0971977984

This is the best book I have come across: it addresses the regulatory requirements and the circuit diagrams in depth without making it complicated. There is plenty of explanation to read. Though some might find it cumbersome, it explains the principles so well. It a must have book.

If you are a student learning electrical, dont bother with this one, it wont help much

Great book, been around for quite a few years (they update when the new NEC comes out). I've used these books for many years and they have made my job a lot easier. Also a great resource for a beginner too - very easy to understand and apply what they say. Makes it a lot easier to conform to NEC and most likely your local standards/requirements as well. Great resource!

good book, lots of details, and some suggestions for more rare and exotic installs.
