[Hom Sack · Rating 5 out of 5]

A delightful read if you're into subjects like these. Certainly better than reading the code itself, although relevant sections are referenced. Just be mindful that this edition refers to the 2014 code ( updated every three years ) and is currently good for states like Pennsylvania but not for Massachusetts which now uses the 2020 Edition of the code. But I suspect for typical residential work, the 2014 Edition is sufficient.
