Looking for an electrical work book
 

I took Electrical Construction and Maintenance back in 1980. There
was a loose leaf workbook that focused on just the residential parts
of the code. Each section showed a part of a residential aspect of
the National Electric Code. It had a section on service, pools,
outside wiring, kitchen. I have called the tech school library and
our local library here in town. I am waiting to hear back from both.

Just a shot that someone here might know what the book may be called.
I have Googled for a book on NEC residential, but nothing I have found
so are seems to be the book.

It sounds like the NEC Handbook, which is an illustrated guide with
common sense explanations. But other companies offer them besides the
NEC, it's probably one of those. My electrician friend gets one that is
particulary nice, with color illustrations, I'll ask him who publishes
it.

I am sure it is not the NEC Handbook. That book is really good, but
it covers all of electrical work.

The book I am looking for covers NEC for residential work only.

This is not the exact book that you are looking for but take a look at
http://tinyurl.com/3jjy3kd on Amazon.com, maybe it will suffice.

Maybe. The library called and they are getting this book for me:
http://www.google.com/products/catal...ed=0CDEQ8wIwAw
Electrical Wiring Residential: Based on the 2005 National Electric
Code

I don't know if it is the one either, but I am sure it will cover it.

Thanks everyone

The best resource I have seen for an illustrated explanation of the NEC code
is Mike Holt's "understanding The National Electrical Code Vol. 1. All of
Mike's material is first rate.

Good idea to have a book the same as the NEC that is being enforced -
probably not 2005. There are a lot of books out there. (I don't know
which ones are good.)

The NFPA puts out a residential version of the NEC. I presume it has the
same basic organization, which is a problem for people not familiar with
the code. The requirements for installing a new outlet are scattered in
many locations.
