text book for lrfd third edition

(OP)
Can anyone recommend a good textbook that covers the LRFD Third edition?  I have one by Jack McCormac for the First Edition LRFD, but want something more current as I try to get up to speed on LRFD. Up to this point in my career I  have always used the 9th Edition ASD.  Thanks.

You may want to hold off until the new combined ASC/LRFD specification comes out next year. Here is an update in the July 2004 issue of Structure Magazine (free .pdf download of the article titled "Codes & Standards"):

In the meantime here is a thread to give you a link to the recent AISC public draft of the the upcoming revision (also a free .pdf download):

I recommend LRFD Steel Design by William T. Segui 3rd Ed.
