I've heard the Which? book of wiring and lighting to be quite good, though I haven't read it myself.
This all assumes you are actually in the UK, I know you put UK as your avatar, but this was originally posted in the Electrics outside of the UK section.
I'm actually thinking of getting a book called 'Electric Wiring: Domestic' which I've heard to be good for the technically minded, though it doesn't look like a book for most DIYers, and not for beginners.
Can anybody advise me on it?

not having seen any of them, i would opt for the last one, as it deals solely with wiring etc

The IEE ONSITE GUIDE makes essential reading for anyone thinking of doing any wiring work in the home etc.
Agree 100% with the above - the IEE Onsite Guide is a must. Be careful if you buy it from Amazon - last time I looked they were still selling the old blue one.
Another I'd strongly recommend is The Electricians Guide, by John Whitfield, obtainable from Amazon, but I think it's nicer to buy it from TLC as a "thank you" for putting it on-line.
If you're interested in the theory behind things, Paul Cook's Commentary on the IEE Wiring Regulations is good.
Not seen it, but I've read a number of good reports about NICEICS Snags & Solutions book.
All of Scadden's books are apparently riddled with typos and errors.
