I have used "UGLY'S Electrical references" for years. It has been an industry standard as a go to for information. After reviewing this "Electrical black book", I believe a new industry standard has been set!! This is by far the most comprehensive reference book I have ever come across.
Pros
The book paper will enable the book to be read for many years. Even when used in a shop environment. The colors used in the book greatly enhance the readability.
Cons

Excellent Electrical Reference Book
Pros
Very compact book with a wealth of electrical information. This is the best electrical reference pocket book that I have seen in my 39 years in the business.

Fantastic reference! Infinitely useful, even to those of us not "professional" electricians.
Pros
Will give anyone enough understanding of the basics to handle most anything that comes up day-to-day.
Cons
Copper ethernet pages have a few errors and some info that's probably about a decade (if not more) out of date -- but it's not wrong (just no one uses that stuff anymore).

Excellent source of a variety of information, that is handy to have for non-professionals who don't do this kind of work every day for a living.
Pros
Compact size with well protected and sturdy pages that can stand up to dirt, smudges, and wear and tear from normal usage in the field or in the shop.
Cons
First thing I noticed was the error in the resistor color code example given on the back cover of the 1st USA edition. (Hence the value.... Tolerance shows +/- 5%, instead of +/- 10%)
July 22, 2016
Response from: Hi Impact Supplies
Hi WL, thank you for pointing that out. The summary of the resistor cited at the top right of the back cover says " Hence the value of the above resistor is 153x1 = 153ohm Tolerance +/-5%, tolerance should instead be 10%. All noted and change has been made. Thank you

This has already proven to be a useful resource for not only basic electrical work, but fundamentals of construction for electrical systems.
Pros
Well built, I'm not worried about keeping it clean or it tearing.

Are you human? If you answered yes then get this reference book. Being human one can only remember so much, and having a fast answer on a job site can go a long way!
Pros
Compact size, layout, spiral binding, all the info in general.
Cons
I honestly don't see any. This book is what it is and it works.
Awesome book!

I can see myself using this reference quite a bit. Well worth the price I paid. And the mini voltmeter will be tucked away as a backup. Thanks!
Pros
Laminated pages, colors help keep things organized, contains up to date codes and standards.
Cons
Text may be a bit small for people who cant see well. The copy of the book I bought wasnt bound properly. I had to remove the binding and redo it. Not a big deal, only took 5 min.
