Best price for new yellow regs book.

[johnstantine]

Hi all. Just wondered what the best price is that people have paid for the new regs book and where from. Cheers. Also, strangely, the return button on my computer seems to have no effect in the post typing box (hence all on one paragraph).

If you press the A/A button (on the left) your enter/return function will work. I've noticed it happens only on certain browsers.

As for the regs book the price is pretty universal, unless your a member of the IET in which case you will receive a discount.

Where ever you get it from, make sure they are a reputable store, I doubt there are any fakes out yet but buying from a known retailer is usually the best option.

I always wait awhile before purchasing, to give them time to sort out any mistakes.

Probably worth waiting until they batch out some more without the mistakes.

TLC do them for £65 and £3.90 delivery.

I looked at TLC after an email from them, it was £65 with no delivery charge.
I was going to buy but think I'll wait after reading the posts on here re the mistakes in it.
Trouble is, how do you know if you are buying a 1st print run or subsequent one?

Was all set to buy one of these yellow books myself, need one for around march time.
But after reading this might give it a miss!
Was going to flog the old books on fleabay - some one might buy them :hurray:have about £300 quids worth ,

But will now only buy books i require as cost of regs book is a total wind up, i am aware the fact that c&g lets you take it into certain exams , is a big reason why I bet a lot of people buy it.

But this time i buy it , i will definaltly start using it more than my other books , just to get moneys worth!

Just find it really difficult to navigate round ,but I guess the fact that it dosn't basically change that much , means that if I had of used it properly years ago , instead of the easy others ones ( on-site guide /AEEU type books ) I would know my way round it !

I blame the slackness of youth!

Got to take issue on your third paragraph, proper Electricians don't just buy BS 7671 to pass exams, they need it to work correctly.

Thanks for the replies.
Does anybody know of any mistakes thus far in the new book?
