 A Very Informative Guide July 8, 2008
I loved this book. It is perhaps more of a technical guide than a field reference but it is still is filled with lots of useful stuff and manages to be entertaining at the same time.
However, if you want to know have to attach terminals and do some of the real hand on stuff this isn't the book you want (try the Newnes Electronics Assembly Pocket Book or something similar instead).

Audio/Video Cable Installer's Pocket Guide (McGraw-Hill Pocket Reference)I THINK THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO BUY ANYTHING ELECTRICAL ON THIS PLANET YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK FIRST.
SO WHEN THE SALESMAN SAYS THAT HE KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 1080P/1080I YOU CAN TELL HIM TO READ THIS BOOK BEFORE HIS NEXT CUSTOMER.
IN FACT I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH THIS BOOK I HOPE TO CREATE A DVD BASIC HOME THEATER INSTALL TIPS USING THIS POCKET GUIDE AS A REFERENCE POINT

Very little useful information. If you planning a home theatre this book really doens't offer any information on design or component integration. Very basic in it's approach with references to VCR's and other dated technology.
Great pocket book January 17, 2007

I bought this book as a quick reference for a Technical Support group I manage. We have a few dozen products that require an installer to run wires throughout a house. Unfortunately, a large majority of the calls I get are wiring related and this book provides tremendous insight into the problems created by improper wiring.
If you want to learn about wiring, this is the book to buy. I also bought the full book that goes with it. It must be good because I got the only paperback, and all the used hardback books are almost double the retail price.
From this guide you'll learn everything relating to wiring. You'll learn balanced vs unbalanced, ground loop isolation vs cross talk, and the list would almost be half as long as the pocket guide. Simply put, if your livlihood depends upon wiring, this book will help you a great deal.
