If you need the code them the code book is what you want.
But you might want to look at National Electric Code Handbook.
It consists fo the actual code along with note, details, and
drawings explaining the code.
But it is about $125. Amazon has it.

that's an ugly price. I thought the last one was like $30.

The plain code book it'self is around $60.
This is similar to the one I had:

but it wasn't for 2005. Don't know if this one is any good or not.
All I do is residential. And usually leave the heavier stuff to the electrician, but need the book to make sure my setups are OK (for example locating the meter, panel, heights of panels, places you can't put panels, etc).
So I might not need the $125 one, but need more info than the average electric books gives.jt8

I had one like that, but I don't know where it is, but so I can't tell you want is in it.You might want to get one of the codecheck books. http://www.amazon.com/s/102-1554572-2229759?ie=UTF8&index=books&rank=-relevance%2C%2Bavailability%2C-daterank&field-author-exact=Kardon%2C%20Redwood
You can review the 2005 NEC online, at http://www.nfpa.org/freecodes/free_access_agreement.asp?id=7005SB It is kind of clunky to use but the price is right.
I must have had a NEC for idiots book, because it was a lot more fun to read. That one is about as exciting to read as 1040's.jt8

Buy a regular code book at the book store or supply house. Get the thumb tabs and put them in. Best way I've found to do it. Then you can look up your sections fast.
Pardon my fat fingers.

Your local Community College Bookstore may have it. It's probably cheaper to get it there than online.
