I actually 'cited' it directly out of a 'Code-Check' book,
I never was a big fan of the "Code-Check" series of books, but I'm sure that they are a great help to many people. The actual code books, besides being only a few dollars more than the code check booklet, contain the actual enforcable text. I prefer to read it for myslef. My local contractor's association puts on a workshop every three years when the new codes come to print to teach about the major changes. If you keep going to the changes classes, you don't really have much to learn in between times.
I like to keep in touch with the latest:
National Electrical Code (NEC)
International Residential Code (IRC)
International Building Code (IBC) [commercial work, mostly]
International Fuel Gas Code
International Mechanical Code
International Plumbing Code
International Energy Conservation Code
International Existing Building Code
International Fire Code
This seems like a big list, but there's tons of overlap, so it's not too bad. If you're doing mostly resi work, the NEC and the IRC are most of the time all you need to worry about.
