Which steel manual to buy?
(OP)
I see the 15th edition came out, is there any reason not to go and buy it? I heard there may be alot of errata? I am not a structural engineer, I work for a contractor and use the manual once in a while.
Sorry if this question has been asked a lot but I did a search and did not find a recent thread.

If you don't need the latest, consider Abebooks or Ebay for a used edition of the 13th or 14th editions at less $.

The 15th will be better future proofing if you're looking for a general reference on steel design over the next 20 years. AISC errata usually aren't too onerous (although I don't know specifically about the 15th ed).

(It's possible you don't know a member, but it's generally good to be cautious about Amazon for technical resources. Sometimes the markup is ridiculous).
