"An hour with a book would have brought to your mind,
The secret that took the whole year to find;
The facts that you learned at enormous expense,
Were all on a library shelf to commence."

This Audels Handy Book of Practical Electricity, A Complete Illustrated Ready Reference Educator from 1924 is so special! The title page describes this book to be, "Audels Handy Book of Practical Electricity with Wiring Diagrams. Ready Reference for Professional Electricians, Students, and All Electrical Workers By Frank D. Graham"

This volume was produced by Frank D. Graham and published by the Theo. Audel & Co. 65 West 23rd Street, New York, USA. Copyright 1924 First Printing. Printed in the United States.

The guide begins with a note to the Reader and Student on using the "Handy Book", a portrait of Benjamin Franklin, the Title Page, Publisher's Note, Author's Note and Contents of the Guide in Eight Parts. The book has a bright red leatherette cover with gold paper edges and graphics on the binding. The front of the cover is impressed with the title of the guide. The leatherette cover makes the book practical for use as the pages and cover are very flexible. This is like the 1920s version of You Tube How to Videos! Full of illustrations, photographs and practical presentations on how to perform as an Electrician with style. The bindings also noted Wiring Diagrams were included.

This book is in wonderful, antique condition. Some corner and edge ruffling and creasing on the binding from use. No extraneous writing, other than the previous owners name on the first page. No breaks in the binding. No missing pages. Pages have darkened with age. No off odors.

This belongs on the shelf or mantel in the office of a builder or electrician. What a one-of-a-kind gift. Very, very special.
