2.0 out of 5 stars Outdated!, 22 Mar 2004
This review is from: Collins Complete Wiring and Lighting (Paperback)
I found this book very outdated, does not show any up to date consumer units or fuse boards. I didn't find the book at all helpfull. Well nothing i didn't already know really.
Wouldn't recommend it to anyone putting any new installations in or upgrading any. I felt let down.

1.0 out of 5 stars A complaint, 10 Jun 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Collins Complete Wiring and Lighting (Paperback)
What a disappointment!

What a brilliant book the Collins Complete DIY is, good drawings, instructions the whole works.
Hoping that the Collins Wiring Guide would take a more
specialist view of wiring I ordered that as well.
Big Disappointmnet. This is a perfect copy of the electrical section of the Complete Manual page for page diagram for diagram... what a cheat!
Moreover when you try to point this out to Amazon there is no way to contact them...and then they do not pay postage either way when you return the book!

What a pity such shoddy sales techniques diminishes the excellent Complete Manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, 14 Jun 2008
By K. Mathesonmclaughlin - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
No sure I agree with previous reviewer. This is up to date with reference to consumer units. ( I wonder if they were referring to an older version of the book?).
This was actually bought for me by my partner to aid my DIY electrical projects and it scores well for that. Pretty much everything you need to know is covered but of course if you have done a bit of electrical diy some parts you will know about. I guess the authors and not psychic and cannot write an individual book for every purchaser! I subsequently did a part P course and can say this book prepared me to a good standard before starting the course and asking stupid obvious questions. (For comprehensive details you need to look at the building regs for part P). Overall I found the book useful and would recommend it. In summary a good book.
