Paul Mallery’s Electrical Handbook vol 1 & 2, enough theory so you can advance, without boring you silly. Covers the basics, and starts you on the advanced path if you are interested.
I bought both of these books based on your description.
While everything you said about them is absolutely true, I think they are a bit much for someone just wanting to learn basic DC wiring.
They are way beyond what the OP said he was looking for.
My question is which book about wiring a layout you would consider the EASIEST TO UNDERSTAND, like an idiot’s guide. Not the most complete, not the one with the sweetest schematics, and not the one that goes into the most detail about outlying scenarios that I probably won’t be pursuing… but the one you would consider most easy to grasp for someone electronically challenged but that still covers essentials for basic wiring of a DC layout.

Agreed, but that conversation was all over the map by the time I replied. I just think Mallery was one of the great thinkers in this hobby and his work does not get enough attention.
