The 1940 is the first NEC I worked under, in 1941. I still have the book. If anyone has an NEC older than 1940 that you can part with, let me know. Creighton

The first one I ever opened was a borrowed copy of the '93. I used it to pass my (newly required) apprentice test; had to take it, even though I already had experience.

The only copies I have are '96, '99 and '02.

I'm a newbie!

...The 1971 NECA "black cover" edition was my first. ยง230-95 ground-fault protection was new then.

My first was the '84 and I still have it. The oldest one in my collection is a 1913. It's about the size of a checkbook. Times sure have changed.

My first one was a 1975 edition that I got when I started in vo-tech. Man that thing looks like a rag! LOL. I still have it, and most of the ones since. Matt

Mine was a '68, & it resided next to the toilet (as does my '02 today).
For Christmas in '71, I got a little wooden model of an outhouse with a miniature NEC sitting on its floor as a gift from my wife.
Don't have the wife, the outhouse, or the book anymore. I wore them all out.
I guess I've always been full of ....S
