The numbers at the bottom of my 2011 nec page 1 (my numbers go up to 14) I believe tells you what edition you have, can anyone distinguish how those numbers are based.

If you have all 14 numbers, that means you have the First Printing. Once they go to Printing No 2, the 1 disappears.

Round 3, 1 & 2 go away.

It's important when it comes to errors. Testing companies will capitalize on them by creating test questions that refer to errors. If you don't download the Errata, you can get the question wrong even though your book says you're right.

He will underbid the guys who know the code and the inspector will never say a word. I lose work to code violations constantly around here.

I'm not running a business just working with my license currently with another company, but regardless I always stay current with education on code changes. I was just referring to a NEC 2011 PDF that I got so I can put it on my iPhone.
