I am 3 to 4 colors above what you would say is "green". I cant get educated unless I do it myself. This book is perfect for me! I've put in 10 hrs of reading and thats all it took for me to give it 5 stats. I value this book well above 100.00 dollars Review: Can't go wrong never had electrical experience easy to follow - I have never studied electrical nor did I know anything about it, I purchased this book to pass the test to get in the apprenticeship program at U.S. Steel . I have not taken the test yet but the book is very easy to follow and when I spoke with the people in the electrical field and they lookes at the book they said it was on point, I also have three friends that used this book only and passed. I am a women, and machanically inclined but I was not familiar with electrical . This book is great I would recommend it for anyone wanting to begin a career in this filed it starts from A to B. This is one of the best investments your money can buy. I also purchased a used version from desertcart and the book was like new for almost half the cost. ( UPDATE) I passed at a high level and now am an electrician in the steel mill. I still read this book to continue learning although the best is hands on this book will guve you enough knowledge to get hands on and feel comfortable. I recommend this book to everyone trying to get in Maintenance, beginners, novice, even people with experience.
