The Complete Photo Guide to Wiring 8th Edition is a reformat and a re-release update of the classic reference by the editors of Black & Decker. Due out 8th Feb 2022 from Quarto on their Cool Springs Press imprint, it's 336 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats (ebook format available now).
One thing that characterizes these Black & Decker reference guides is the uniform logical layout. The books are streamlined and information is grouped thematically in chapters - so relevant info is easy to find and easy to use. The introduction includes a solid overview over safety and working safely with electricity (obviously very important). The following chapters build on one another: wire cable & conduit, boxes & panels, switches, receptacles, project planning & preliminary work, circuit maps, common wiring projects (including some really useful tutorials), repairs, and troubleshooting.
The emphasis throughout is on clearly written information which is correct, up-to-date, and safety conscious. Tutorials are accompanied by step by step instructions and photos. Materials and tools are clearly labeled and listed in bullet lists throughout the text. Measurements throughout (as well as standards for code-work) are given in American standard (no metric measurement equivalents are given).
The codes and standards used are specific for North America and are current from 2021-2024 as written to comply with requirements.
Five stars. This is a great resource for DIYers, homeowners, and would be a good choice for school and public library acquisition. All the books in this series are well written, accessible, and safety conscious.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
