I've just brought basic electrical installtion work by trever linsley which I'm sure is a good book for after I've learnet the basics. but I dont really know anything about electrics which book would you recomend. I'm looking to do either a 2330 course or to do a 4 -6 weeks intensive training course but I would like to learn the basics before I go on any of them.
So even though I'm glad I've got the book for when I start a course I would like to have a more basic knowlegde before hand. So any suggestions on books or ebooks will be aprreciated.

Thanks
