Anyone got the Yellow book spare?

[T i m]

Hi All,

No, not the "Yellow pages" but the old version of the IEE Wiring Regulations (Obviously the latest copy would be nice and I won't say no etc ..)? Anyone got an old one they want to get rid of please (think what you could do with the spaced saved!) ;-) I'll cover the postage or collect if you are Nth London ish?

I'm sure it would be good reading for someone (sad) like me and as I've just finished reading the Maplin cat front to back (for the 4th time ) I'm looking for something new and refreshing. Oh, the "Semiconductor and accessories" section ..boy that *was* good though!

Even that isn't as good as the old 5 part RS books ..

Anyway, I believe the "The IEE On-site Guide" is another 'must read', so is there a good (1) place to get it from please?

All the best ..

(1) cheap.

Actually I do have an old 16th edn Regs going spare. I'd be happy to post it to you, contact me on the above email address.

If you are being really sad, then you can get a set of the Farnell cataloges without even opening an account. A whole EIGHT sections (about 10,000 pages).

Sigh,

Can I recommend the CPC catalogue?

2830 odd pages of mostly good stuff!

(Open a cash account (Free) and they will send you one)

WARNING. You will almost certainly find yourself spending a small fortune!

First you will get up to the required £30+vat to get free delivery, then it will just keep mounting up and up! Trust me, that book is dangerous!

I just bought the latest Blue copy and the On Site guide for £53 total, delivered from the Co-op online store. By far the cheapest I could find, if you need to get hold of the latest.

Thanks for that Rob..

I think I could find the whatever for the 'On site guide'? Is that the sort of 'real world' translation of the full regs for everyday wiring issues?

Is there more than one of these guides (different publishers etc) out there and if so, what is 'the' one to have please?

All the best ..

I'm still waiting for some stuff I've got on back order from Dec 02! I think they've forgotten. ..

When you say the blue copy - is that the one with "16 IEE Wiring Regulations" in blue? CPC have that for £10.92 (PL04275)

is that a different one!

Sparks...

[Lurch]

Different one. It's a guide to rather than the actual regulations. ..

No - that is a set of three guide to the regs (funnily enough written by the guy who is currently teaching me Inspection Testing and Certification). From the looks of it they are course books which will help you to understand / use the regs. I don't know how much use they will be without the regs rthemselves

I bought one of these CDs a couple of weeks ago. Looks like a hot copy to me (home made label). I haven't tried it out yet. I have the blue book and OSG too.

Unfortunately I don't know, but according to the ebay site it appears that the CD has the latest patches/updates to the 16th edition. Whether that translates to the latest version of the regs I don't know.
