 Poor typeface detracts from technical content, 2008-07-27
Excellent technical content is significantly detracted by poor font selection and layout, which makes reading difficult. The typeface is extremely poor, printing is too light, and in general the content is overly hard to read.

I think it's good!, 2008-01-13
I bought this book as it was referred by many others as a good reference for PE exam and as the others say, it's good for morning (bridth) section only.

Helpful for the PE Exam, 2008-01-07
This book sits on my shelf next to the Physics Handbook and other reference titles. I don't use very often, but then I don't use the others very often either. That's why they are called reference books. This volume is excellent for its overt purpose, which is to help you pass the PE exam. It covers a huge swath of the wide field of electrical engineering, in sufficient detail to provide a working grasp of the terminology and principles, though not so much as to guide detailed design work; there are other books for that. Sections range from reviews of basic material to discussion of reasonably sophisticated topics such as information theory. It can be likened to an electronics oriented version of the World Book encyclopedia, written for the technically literate. As such, it is designed to be concise and accessible, easy to flip open and zero in on any topic. In other words, it is great for an open book exam, and it is handy anytime you might want a fast introduction to or refresher on any given topic. Beyond the comprehensive collection of theory, on a down to earth practical note there are wire tables and a chapter on the national electrical code. There is also a section on professional matters, such as economic analysis, law, and ethics, which might make it the only book on your shelf where you can find this. Because it is very good at what it does, this was one of just four books I took into the exam room, in contrast to one idiot who brought in four *crates* of stuff to waste time looking through. Because it is very good at what it does, it is a permanent addition to my electrical engineering reference library. Would I have purchased it even if I never needed it for exam study material? I think the answer is yes. It is that broad and useful.

 invaluable reference, 2008-01-04
This is a great reference book, both for electrical engineering in general and the PE exam in particular. I used this book as my primary source while studying and working problems for the exam. It also had all the info I needed during the exam. As a fairly young engineer without loads of experience behind me, I leaned heavily on this book before and during the exam and was very satisfied with it. The sections are concise and to the point, and the formulas are easy to pick out quickly from the text. I've had it about 6 months now and have already used it a few times on the job as well.
If there are any drawbacks, one might be that it has so many sections that it can take a little while to look things up sometimes. While this makes for a good comprehensive reference, one has to be well-versed in it to be able to dig for info quickly during the exam. Also, some of the sections don't go into as much detail as some exam questions. In my experience, these areas gave good overviews but didn't give the formulas, coefficient explanations, etc. necessary to attack some exam problems. These don't detract significantly from my overall opinion of the book though.
During the exam, the only books I used were this one, my NEC Handbook, the practice problems manual that accompanies this book, and the NCEES practice exams manual. I had a few other textbooks and some study course manuals with me during the exam, but never reached for any of them. This and the Code were all the reference materials I used. And I passed! (The practice problems book and NCEES exam book are also highly recommended; some problems mirrored those on the exam and each enabled me to get a precious few more solutions that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise.)
In conclusion, this is a great reference book for electrical engineering as a whole, and I wouldn't recommend stepping into the PE exam room without a copy on hand.

Very little useful information, 2007-12-20
I found that the reference manual was missing many important parts (that were on the test), and most of the materials that are on the Power section of the exam are missing, or lack the depth of information to be of any use for studying.
