+# *Electrical Estimators Manual*
+
+Electrical Estimators Manual:
+How to Estimate Electrical Construction Projects Including Everyday Labor Installation Rates
+(William Penn)
+
+199 page book
+
+## Pros
+
+* Intelligent prose where present
+
+* Condensed
+
+* Notable Inclusions
+  * Labor hours
+  * Unit conversions 
+    * too many, including rare units
+  * Checklist
+    * VERY brief
+  * Sample forms for small-scale manual estimation
+
+## Cons
+
+* No mention of certain fundamental topics:
+  * Expenses
+  * Indirect labor
+  * Overhead
+
+* Purely instruction, no philosophy
+
+* Avoids addressing complications
+
+## Best Suited For
+
+* General info for electricians with no prior estimating experience
+* Use as a manual for very small outfits
+
+## Overall
+
+* Really more of a labor units manual than an estimating manual
