Default What Books Are Not Recreational Books?

If you mean not cutting limits and/or booting:

From the top of this page: Olympic, CRIS to some extent, 5Dimes, Pinnacle.

Pinnacle in my opinion is the best book for heavy hitters. They wont shy away from any plays.

Hmmm...

I just checked it and it appears to be back to higher limits again.

NHL seems to be $1500.
NCAAF seems to be $1500.
NFL seems to be $2000.

In the summer my MLB was reduced to $500 (from a $1000)and I just stopped using them for a while.
