Best cheapest place to buy 18th edition regs book?

[jase_31]

Studying 18th edition. Any suggestions for the cheapest place to get the 18th edition regs book?

 

[Let me think]

Take your chances if you buy anywhere else. Not worth the risk trying to get a book on the cheap if it's not legit.

Bit more expensive , but the IET is the best place to buy in my opinion.

As above , there is some rubbish on the market.

There are a few official stockists listed on IET website, some of which may offer a modest saving, but there's no legitimate way of saving much off the cover price.

the problem is it's the current edition, so always a rip-off!

Having a genuine copy of the regs is, I'm afraid, just one of the costs you have to bare for the job

I get discount off the IET as a member, but that hardy covers the annual membership fee!

There probably are better books to study though, but I can't really advise. However, the IET's "Electrical Installation Design Guide" is actually quite good and has some useful worked examples, also the On-Site Guide has 90% or so of what you are likely to need in a handy format.

I would suggest the IET like everyone else, I am a member myself so it is a no brainer for me.

Amazon was doing an offer back in October for £55, but if you ever decide to buy from Amazon when/if they do an offer again, make sure it is "Dispatched from and sold by Amazon" to avoid fakes.

+1 for the IET on site guide, I think its the only one with a spiral binding so you don't have to break its back when reading it or referencing it on site, plus it lays flat, but the unite "The Electricians Guide to Inspection and Testing" is an easier read.

I fell for it with one of the 17th editions, after a few months it became a loose leaf folder.
