10.		Wiring Simplified: Based on the 2008 National Electrical Code from Park Publishing, Inc. Price: $7.00 Customer Review: Wiring Simplified???? Unless your an electrician... this book is not for you. I'm not the brightest knife in the tool shed and this book reads like it was written by a lawyer. Get 'Wiring a House / For Pros by Pros' by Rex Cauldwell instead. These two books should exchange titles.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		American Electrician's Handbook from McGraw-Hill Companies Price: $69.99 Customer Review: I'll let you know after I get the book, but I just wanted to comment on what I have read in these reviews so far.

12.		Smart Homes for Dummies from For Dummies Price: $9.44 Customer Review: Some readers commented that there is not actually enough information on "how to actually do something" or "home automation". That's true. There could be more of this stuff, but if they were, the book would probably not be for "dummies", any more. Not meaning that stuff is too technical, but it would... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

15.		Electrician's Exam Preparation Guide from Craftsman Book Co Price: $32.67 Customer Review: The questions asked don't follow the flow of learning that I use. The order in which they're asked is not how you would normally think when you're doing electrical work. Didn't work for me, but maybe for some others it would be okay. I'd bet "okay" is about as good as a review will get on this book.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Industrial Motor Control from Delmar Cengage Learning Price: $127.00 Customer Review: I think that being a beginners course that it should have had two extra chapters. The first should have been an intro to the industrial motor field along with real world applications. The second should have gone over symbols and diagrams. I do like the DVD though. All in all, a good job.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

(Mcgraw Hill's National Electrical Code Handbook) from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $46.59 Customer Review: I can understand the other reviewers and there opinions, there's merit, but they lose me when they see no value in the McGraw-Hill Handbook.
