Hawkins Electrical Guide
The ''Hawkins Electrical Guide'' was a technical engineering book written by Nehemiah Hawkins, first published in 1914, intended to explain the highly complex principles of the new technology of electricity in a way that could be understood by the common man. The book is notable for the extremely high number of detailed illustrations it contains, and the small softbound size of the volumes. The book was published by Theodore Audel & Company, and the majority of the illustrative content became the basis of decades of follow-up books published under the ''Audels'' brand name.

Because the ''Hawkins Electrical Guide'' was printed in the United States prior to 1923, the content of the books has passed into the public domain. Free media access on the Internet Due to several book digitizing initiatives such as the Gutenberg project, and , many of these older public domain books are becomin ...
