Handbook of Simplified Electrical Wiring Design by John D. Lenk

This item is identified as a softcover book, likely a textbook or technical handbook, titled "HANDBOOK OF SIMPLIFIED ELECTRICAL WIRING DESIGN." The pages appear to be made of standard book paper, off-white or cream in color, indicating some age or natural paper tone. The text is printed in black ink with a clear and legible sans-serif font for the main title and author, and a serif font for the publisher details. The visible page is an interior title page, possibly preceded by a half-title or dedication page, and is bound on the left side, typical of a book. The binding itself is not directly visible but implied by the curvature of the pages near the spine. The overall condition appears good, with no overt tears, creases, or significant staining visible on the shown page. There might be some very subtle, faint discoloration or yellowing consistent with age, but no major foxing or water damage. The publisher is identified as "Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey." The author is John D. Lenk. Based on the publisher and the nature of the topic (electrical wiring design), this book would likely have been published in the mid to late 20th century, a common period for such technical handbooks. The typesetting and general appearance suggest a publication date before the widespread adoption of modern digital typography, possibly ranging from the 1960s to the 1980s. The quality of craftsmanship is standard for a professional publication of its era, intended for informational and educational purposes.
