QUESTION: "What is the difference between the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Handbook version?". As far as the actual NEC code quoted in the text... it's the same.
The NEC Handbook has additional diagrams, graphics and explanations inserted into the text (adding more pages and raising the price). It was designed for engineers and inspectors. The typical exam candidate should not use it as a preferred reference.
Additional Recommended Books
The books listed below may be allowed at the exam location as long as they have the original binding and no written notes. Read your exam bulletin or "what to bring" statement carefully for specific restrictions.
