What do you recommend as a better reference book and why?

 

[Flyer_PE]

Take the handbook, especially if you don't use the code all the time. The handbook includes a lot of additional text, including examples, explaining the actual code sections.

The handbook includes everything in the code as well as additional explanations and helpful hints. It's a million times more helpful. It has lots of calculation examples, and extra tables, and lists.

I did not use the handbook but I was used to work with the code. Take Flyer's advice and go with the handbook.

if you don't know the code well, also take a copy of Ugly's.
