Comments from our editors:
Is it wiring -- or is it an octopus?

If you live in an older building, you never know what lurks behind switchplates and outlet covers, inside fuse boxes and breaker panels, writes master electrician David Shapiro. He's conquered the tangles masquerading as wiring in hundreds of old buildings, and in this book, he shows you not just what should be in your electrical system--and also what really may be there--and how to deal with it.

At last there's an easy, safe approach to that possible fire hazard (a.k.a.: your wiring system). This informative, photo-packed book can help anyone do home electrical jobs with ease, confidence, and skill. Your Old Wiring provides pictures that help you do everything from simple splicing repairs to installing a ceiling fan.

Master electrician David E. Shapiro's unique pictorial approach walks you through every step, making every task simple and safe. Clear photographs show you not only what to do, but also how to handle old wiring that may not match the ideal.
