What book are you talking about?

I think he is asking about this title

I have one, probably bought it in the 1990s, red cover. I like it but I don't use it that much.

I got one earlier in my career and found to be extremely beneficial. I again used it extrensively while developing my apprenticeship classes. I think every electrician should have a copy and should read it often...

Here is another great one if your at all curious about 'the other side'. :smile:

I used to have an old copy but it went missing.

I have one. The 75th anniversary Diamond Jubilee Edition. Wooooo!
I reference it occasionally.

The true Dark Side:

 

[electricmanscott]

Chapter I "In my town"
Chapter II "I like it this way"
Chapter III "I'll let it go this time"
Chapter IV "I'll be there between 8-4"

:grin:

The true Dark Side:

Check this site out for Electrical books, the first one takes you to a search page for the American Electricains' Handbook.
The reason I did this is the download is 24 mb. some of these downloads are as large as 100 mb.

The second one is their Homepage.
