That book is actually pretty funny, and quite well-written.

Having seen the condition of the electrical wiring in some of the houses in the Hudson Valley area, mostly those dating to the period of the 1930s - 1950s, I am truly astonished that all of southeastern New York state hasn't burned to the ground long ago.
Is it this bad throughout the rest of New England as well?

Living with the risk of incineration every night is strangely comforting, like sleeping with a live fire burning in your lean-to while winter camping. It's a regional thing - Romex is for pussies.
To split hairs, New England starts on the other side of the NY border.

Cloth covered 110v wire is awesome. The original parts of my grandparents home has it all through the attic (built 1938). The cloth disintegrates to dust upon contact with anything, including your fingers. "We'd like you to help us install this new ceiling fan while you are here."

Can't be that bad. My great-grandfather was apparently a raging drunk who built the family house my sister and her husband/kids still live in.
Still only original **** and tube wiring from 1918.

I had an electrician add an outlet at the rear of my house when I had a new deck built.
The other day I plugged my leaf blower into it. It didn't work.
:(
I'd take 1920s wiring that actually worked over modern work that doesnt.
