2NEC 2008 CD Limited to Two Downloads?  May 02, 2008 By M. Morgan
The web-based 'key' only lets you install the CD to your hard drive twice. Most of us have a desktop at home and one in the office, plus a laptop for the field. They know this. We need three downloads plus three more for when we upgrade our computer hardware or rebuilkd after a crash. The publisher's tactic is a crime. This will end the era of using any NFPA code materials on my computers, its back to hard copy. AMAZON NEEDS TO STATE THIS TWO-INSTALL LIMITATION IN THIS WEBSITE AD TO PROTECT US. We have no other way to know what we are really buying.

4A nice alternative to the pricier binder edition.  Feb 01, 2010 By Jery Nelson
The paperback version of the NEC code book works well as an office reference manual and is an economical alternative to the pre-tabbed binder edition. Although, I would highly recommend purchasing the tabs to install on this paperback edition in order to cut down on time-consuming searches.

5A must have for DIY electrical work  Jan 25, 2008 By Lawrence Cummings
If you are going to do any electrical work in your home or garage, I highly recommend this publication. Some of the wording and references take some thought to decipher, but this book will save you headaches down the road, either with current electrical code inspections, or selling your home later on.

4Wordy, but good..  Oct 31, 2009 By William Lattanzio
As a veteran of two ICC code exam certifications I am pretty good navigating the NEC. It is wordy, redundant in places, and sometimes not easy to get a straight answer. Yet it is still the clearest of all electrical code manuals I've seen(and I've seen alot of them) What alot of laymen don't realize is that for the most part local code supercedes the NEC so this book is not always the final word for a homeowner doing some electrical work. However, anybody with a little electrical background should be able to use the NEC to get their project going the right way. I would still recommend calling in an inspector anywhere you are unsure. Most of the electrical I do now is basement and garage remodels so I don't need to use the code book much anymore, but I prefer a spiral bound book because they are much easier to lay flat(obviously)
While sometimes the book reads like a newbe to English wrote it, this is still a valuable tool to both the pro and homeowner.
