I'm planning on doing some electrical work and I want to make sure it
will
be up to code. Is this book sufficient, or should I buy the "full" code
book?

Things I want to do a

- add a junction box in the ceiling of my utility room (for a ceiling
light)

- add a breaker to serve a new outlet for a "space saver" microwave
above
the stove.


I'm fairly new to this. I have put in two hardwired undercabinet light
fixtures as well as the basic stuff like installing ceiling fans and
light
fixtures to existing junction boxes. Would this be a good book for
someone
like me to reference and make sure that everything is 1.) Safe and 2.)
Passes inspection for selling the house?


The "code" books confuse experienced electricians. You will get far
benifit
and understanding from a book like this:

I have an older edition that has answered evry residential question I ever
needed an answer to.
