Customer Reviews
Wiring Simplified, September 16, 2002
Reviewer: A reader from FLA USA
My father bought me my first copy of this book over 20 years ago and he bought his further back than that. Ever since we never miss a revised edition, we both look foward to the new one and use it. It is well written and easy to follow. We both went from amateur to professional electricians on this book. So if you know alot or a little about electricity, this is a must have.
