The book contains many photo's and simple diagrams and covers topics from the basics of electricity and radio waves right through to cables & connectors, whole house distribution and home cinema. It even covers the test equipment!

"I struggled to find any books that covered this much detail but still remained easy on the head. It's great for the beginner through to professional, I'm no longer a beginner (phew) yet I still refer back to it".
