CJS Boundaries would be a good start. Old editions can be found used for pretty cheap.

> The most essential for me is a binder for each State I work in. It contains all statutes, rules and recent Board decisions. They are tabbed and kept up to date.

Good suggestion. I would also add (as mandatory) a thorough collection of supreme court decisions from each applicable state.

Must Have for your Library

Nate

From what you said above, you have to start with Wattles' "Writing Legal Descriptions" - the one with the yellow cover and the blue text. It really helped me improve the way I write descriptions.

One word of caution: after absorbing it, you will bristle at every description you encounter with the senseless repetition of: "to a point."

Essential for a surveyor's library

I'd add "The Pincushion Effect".
