Summary: Great quality book - oodles better than the paperback version
Comment: I bought this book as I am going to a trade school to study to be an electrician. It is far easier to find parts of articles and sub-headings due to the fact that the paper is glossy-white (as opposed to gray in the paperback) and different headings are highlighted and indented. That may not sound like much, but it is many times easier to read this version than the paperback version I was supplied to by my school.
The book also features notes about all revisions to the Code since the 2002 edition as well as numerous examples, illustrations, and diagrams of different regulations.
The book is very well constructed, albeit, rather large at 1300+ pages. If you need to buy a code book, this one'll last a lot longer than the paperback one!

Summary: BUY THE HARDCOVER!!
Comment: What a waste of time, money and energy!!
This cd allows you to review the NEC 2005 handbook but you can't print the whole thing to use as a paper hardcover reference, only sections can be printed.
Why pay twice as much for a product that only has half as much value. The paper book version costs half of what this costs and you can photocopy it for reference if you want.
Also included on this disc are "read only" versions of the last three versions of the NEC (again somewhat limited if not altogether useless. Imagine dragging your computer or laptop around with you on a major construction job, ready to pull it out whenever you had a question.. consider that laptop disposable). To top it all off the program only allows two activations, so you can only install it on two computers or activate it twice online ( laptop, work or home totals three... good luck).
This product is definately the result of corporate, copyright infringement paranoia!!

Produced by the NFPA, the popular National Electrical Code® 2005 Handbook contains the complete text of the 2005 edition of the NEC® supplemented by helpful facts and figures, full-color illustrations, real-world examples and expert commentary. An essential reference for students and professionals, this Handbook is the equivalent of an annotated edition of the 2005 NEC® that offers insights into new and more difficult articles in order to guide users to success in interpreting and applying current Code requirements to all types of electrical installations. A valuable information resource for anyone involved in electrical design, installation and inspection, the NEC® 2005 Handbook is updated every three years and provides 100% of the information needed to "meet Code" and avoid costly errors. Thomson Delmar Learning is pleased to make this one-of-a-kind reference - containing the most widely accepted and most frequently used criteria for electrical installations in the U.S. - available directly from us for our customers who work in and around the electrical trades. It may be used independently and also makes an excellent companion to books in Delmar's best-selling electrical wiring series.
