Hi Dan,

There are actually several that are worth looking for. The first one is the 
least expensive and provides an excellent overview. The last two cover 
higher voltage power transmission, field control and corona prevention 
techniques. Good bedtime reading... :^)

1. Kurtz, & Shoemaker, "The Lineman's and Cableman's Handbook", 
McGraw-Hill, (many different editions - go for 5th or higher)

2. Westinghouse, "Electrical Transmission and Distribution Reference Book", 
4th ed., Westinghouse, 1964, 824pp

3. EPRI, "Transmission Line Handbook, 345 kV and Above", EPRI, 1979, 393pp

Best regards,
