Editorial Review:
Over the years, the National Electrical Code® has grown in volume and complexity. This updated edition utilizes visualization to present a complete, concise, and easy-to-understand exploration of the 2005 Edition of the NEC®. Each highly-detailed illustration offers insight into Code requirements and is enhanced by clearly written text blocks that read quickly and with little effort. Includes coverage of fundamental provisions, followed by Code requirements relevant to specific types of occupancies. Intended as an indispensable supplement to the NEC®, this book translates the sometimes vague and complex language of the Code into clearer, cleaner, and simpler terms.

Rating: - not what I expected, but worth the price
Miller's book starts where the revised edition of Rex Cauldwell's excellent Wiring a House (For Pros by Pros) ends. Unless you are an electrician or similarly experienced, you might want to start with Cauldwell's book.
Upside: Illustrated 2005 NEC is readable. I started at the beginning and progressed through the book, reading and studying illustrations in detail where needed, just scanning material I knew well. To me, this is important: Miller gave an example and an illustration immediately ... Read More

This book is a great companion to the NEC 2005 codebook. It's a HUGE help.
Rating: - NEC 2005 Guide Overview

My review is from a handyman perspective, rather than an electrician's.
The 442 page Illustrated Guide to the National Electrical Code® is organized into 5 sections: fundamental provisions, single-family homes and townhouses, multi-family dwellings, commercial buildings, and special occupancies, areas, and equipment (health care facilities, elevators, churches, etc.) Homeowner's can stop on page 188, the end of the single-family dwelling section.
The primary feature of this Guide is ... Read More
Rating:  - needs work
They need to find an editor that has a eye for details. I found numerous mistakes, and references to sections of the code book that the code book editors changed. The book will help you learn the NEC code, but just reading the code book will do the same. The text book won't help too much on the state exam since you can't bring it in. The calculations sections relies heavily on a work sheet that you cannot bring into the test site. Its nice to have, but no use with the exam. The diagrams and illustrations ... Read More
