I know all electricians should have a NEC, IBC, but can you recommend some other ones that are a must have please. Thank you.
 
For a pocket reference in addition to Ugly's, I would recommend the "Electrical Pal" by Paul Rosenberg. It carries a lot of info that you might need in a pinch but Ugly's doesn't have: Screw and bolt torques, punchdown jack configurations, NEMA cabinet types, basic troubleshooting types, etc. I think the same books are produced under the DeWalt name, now.

For actual books:
"Soars Book on Grounding and Bonding"
And if you do any sort of industrial repair work: "Electrical Power Equipment Maintenance and Testing, 2nd Edition."
Both are fantastic.

Where did you find these books? All I could locate was the estimating one.
