Book Reviews of Boatowner's Illustrated Electrical Handbook

Book Review: Thorough and detailed
Summary: 4 Stars

This book has all the detailed information a person would want about DC wiring - particularly in a marine environment. It covers the basics as well as goes the extra distance to explain, in depth, the mechanisims and chemistry of how systems actually work. A great book for either the novice just getting started, or the veteran who wants to further flesh out his informational knowledge. I'd highly recommend it to a friend.
