Electrical Wiring Book Appraisal

Practical Electrical Wiring, Sixth Edition Revised

This item is the title page of a book titled "PRACTICAL ELECTRICAL WIRING Residential, Farm, and Industrial". The book is based on the 1962 National Electrical Code and was authored by H. P. Richter, a member of the International Association of Electrical Inspectors. This specific edition is the "SIXTH EDITION Revised". It was published by McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc. with offices in New York, Toronto, and London, and the publication year is 1960. The page itself is made of cream-colored paper, showing slight discoloration consistent with its age, but no apparent rips, tears, or significant staining. The text is printed clearly in black ink, indicating good legibility. The binding edge of the book is visible on the left, suggesting a sewn or glued binding typical of hardback books from this period. The overall condition appears to be good for an item of its age, with minimal visible wear, reflecting its 'good condition' status. This technical manual would have been used by electricians, farmers, and residential builders in the early 1960s to understand and implement electrical wiring standards.
