Sun n Fun
You can also get the book at Sun n Fun at the Tosten booth B-18 in the blue hangars.
Feel free to look or buy, while you're checking out the stick grips too.

Excellent!
I now know where my first stop/purchase will be Tuesday morning (already purchased the grips)!

Marc,
I learned more about wiring my plane reading your book than any other book I have read. Because I have the VP-X Sport in my plane and trying to get everything wired, I appreciate how you included information for it along with the standard switch -circuit breaker systems.
Thanks.

I have to say this book is a much more enjoyable read than the Nuckolls book. Perhaps it's a generational thing, but this book is a straightforward, organized presentation. The Nuckolls book reads more like of a collection of articles that sometimes wonders off into esoterica that you will not need to know (but is nice to know.) If you are planning an electrical system from scratch, this is my first recommendation.

Great book!
I echo the sentiment above. Marc thank you for cutting to the chase in your book and delivering the information concisely and logically. I am a smart guy and a technology guy, but I couldn't get through Bob's book despite multiple tries. It undoubtedly has great information, but I couldn't effectively extract it from amidst the philosophical tangents and stories. I don't care about history or theory, I want practical answers on which way to go. Rant end. Thank you again Marc. Money very well spent.

I purchased a copy at the Tosten booth at Sun N Fun. I showed it to a friend in the campground and he went over and purchased a copy. It is extremely easy to read/understand/follow. Thank you for taking the time write it, Marc.

Mine arrived on my doorstep while I was on a business trip. Got home this morning at about 1am and spent an hour reading the first parts before my eyes gave up on me.  So far it's great, well organized and thought out and exactly what I need while I think about and try to understand the fundamentals of electrical wiring we are about to undertake on my project.
Note: If you are planning to use (or thinking about using) the Vertical Power VPX systems, get this book in addition to the great documentation available for download in the VP web site, as it will help directly address that option -- in addition to non-VPX wiring planning.
Thanks!
