I am taking an electrical code inspector course.

I noticed the NEC was offered as regular binding, spiral bound and loose leaf.

Which is the best version to get?

Used 2020 loose leaf $152
Used 2020 spiral binding $44
Used 2020 regular binding $58

Will you be using this book to take the exam? IMO for an exam the spiral is the best option because it opens and lays flat when open. The regular binding can make keeping the book open on a page a hassle. Loose leaf type is just too bulky.

Yes. Thanks for the input. I bought the spiral.
