Excellent guide to the NEC
As an electrical engineer I use the NEC code book everyday, but it it too big to carry around from site to site. This handbook is an excellent guide to the larger code book in a convenient small size. It can not replace the code book but when on the job and need to some of the more frequently used information, it is there or it directs you where to look in the code book. This book is not recommended as a stand alone resource, but is an excellent companion.

This Pocket Guide was no help at all.
My husband is building a garage. We had an inspector come out and he wanted some things corrected. Well, we thought this book might clarify a few things. It did not. The codes are all listed but they don't tell you what the specs. are on many things. Like code 300-5 Underground Installations. It tells you to refer to table 300-5. The table isn't in the book! I couldn't find it and neither could my husband. The tables are in numerical order, but it just skips over that one, and I suspect many others as there are numerical gaps. In my opinion, save your money and purchase something else.
