NOTICE: The PSI bulletin is in error. You should be using a 2020 version of Ugly's (not a 2008) and a 17th Edition of the American Electricians' Handbook (not 2002). This recommendation is based on requirements for other states using the same NEC version.
Additional Recommended Books
1a.
Ferm’s Fast Finder Index, 2020, IAEI
1b.
Tom Henry‘s Key Word Index, 2020, Tom Henry
We highly recommend that you purchase one of the reference books above to study for your exam. Each book is a comprehensive subject index to the NEC. They provide an even faster way to look up answers in the code and are far more detailed than the index at the end of the code book.
