The pending release of the '2005 Specification for Structural Steel Buildings' is June 15.
The 'AISC Steel Construction Manual' has an expected release date of fourth quarter 2005.

Sounds good per the press release but I looked through the draft a few months ago and am not too sure. I am concerned about the customized programs I've written over the years and the impact of a new code will have on these. On the other hand, an updated ASD is long overdue.

There is a link on the front page to the page where you can download it and the commentary.

People with massive amounts of 89 ASD software developed are really going to hate it, though, because the format is just about exactly like the 3rd Ed LRFD Spec except at the very last step. There's no resemblance whatsoever to the 89 Spec methodology.

They make just about everything else a free download so they have to make some money somehow. The design guides are free, the engineering journal is free, the Solutions Center answers questions in a REAL hurry, and it's free.
I don't see any of the other big organizations doing this kind of stuff. I asked a question to ACI last year and I bet it was 3 weeks before I got an answer. I don't think it's possible to get the ASCE Journal of Structural Engineering for free or any of the other various documents that they produce.
I think AISC rocks for this kind of stuff.

I don't look forward to spending the dough either, but compare the price to other similar documents. The poorly-bound paperback ACI 318 costs a large percentage of the Manual. The Manual also has a tremendously larger scope and usefulness than other similar documents. Think about not only ACI 318 but ASCE 7. I think they're a much worse ripoff than the Manual. To get the "rest of the story" for ACI or ASCE you have to buy other documents that are also crummy paperback, resulting in a total cost greater than the Manual.
I still argue that AISC is pretty cool in this category.
