The edition I read was published in the 1990s. The diagrams are excellent and very easy to follow. Good overview of basic circuits, panels, subpanels, tools, and equipment. Nice how-to for wiring receptacles (outlets), lights, and switches, even if more than one switch controls a single light. Includes directions for adding circuits in existing construction and repairing drywall afterward. There is even a segment on low voltage wires such as those used for telephones, though phones are going wireless. Good basic overview.
