A good book for the Basic/Intermediate Level Technician/Engineer - Rated
My first impressions of the book is that it is clear and concise on the information it provides to a reader. I do like the early chapter explaining how the BS7671 reads and develops with current regulations.

Despite the book demonstrates many changes in the 17th edition; it doesn't reference to the latest lightning protection BS EN 62305:2006 which is currently running in parallel with the BS 6651:1999 and will supersede this standard on 31/08/08. The book mentions that SPDs are not required in the UK this should be established once the relevant risk assessment has been tasked.

On the whole, I do believe it is a worthwhile book to invest in.

At last, a readable guide to the IEE wiring regulations ! - Rated
This book is an excellent, clear guide to the IEE wiring regulations, suitable for all users of the regulations.
I found both the text and in particular the illustrations, very useful in resolving different interpretations surrounding earthing and bonding issues.
There is also a very useful short section on harmonic assessment.
I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommeding the book to both practising electricians and electrical circuit designers.

Good Book - not too complex and clear layout - Rated
Another good book from the IEE on the 17th Edition wiring regulations. We use this at PPL Training for our City and Guilds 2382 17th Ed regulations course. The book is clearly laid out with easy to follow text on the updates for the 17th edition. Students also taking the City and Guilds 2392/2391 will find this book useful.
