A lot of people quote this book as really useful. I use this groups
archive together with a copy of the On-Site Guide and get on just fine. However I would like a copy of this and Amazon reviews back up its good standing. If it's so good why is it out of print? Anyone have any insider info? Is it just being updated for the harmonised wiring schemes? Cheers. |

You could see if there are any second-hand copies on amazon/ebay/abebooks maybe? Al |

I could do but I really like that crisp, new,
first-to-get-me-hands-on-it feel that a new book has. Im guessing they must be updating it, why take a good seller of the shelves? |

I bought a copy through their website just two/three weeks ago. I'm wiring a new kitchen and the level of detail, for me, was just about right. I'd thoroughly recommend it. There's a insert at the front which I think is about Part P and I can't recall what it said about the harmonised wiring colours. I guess it could be getting reprinted. Or a more sinister/tongue in cheek note, perhaps they feel that with Part P in force they can't give out some of the advice to DIYers that they did prevoiusly and are quietly withdrawing it, or only selling it to those of us lucky enough to live north of the border. Order it and see what happens, dunno if it's dearer than on Amazon but at least all the profits are going to the publishers (Which) https://shop.which.net/shop/home/wiring.shtml |

According to Bookbrain http://www.bookbrain.co.uk it's listed as being reprinted. seeing as the cable colours are changing and the introduction of Part P it'd be surprise if they didn't I guess the Which shop has just got the remaining stock. -- Chris French, Leeds |

I would be interested to know what they said on behalf of "Which" subscribers like myself. I suspect they encouraged it. James |
