We have sold out of the Beginner's Guide to the Steel Construction Manual - 15th edition. Thank you to everyone who has purchased a copy. It helped pay for this website!
There are no current plans to publish any more hard copies of any text

26 April 2021
After many requests, we have relented to making a hard copy of the 15th edition website. It is now available. Please note that, due to retirement, there will not be any further editions of this text.

We have sold out of the Beginner's Guide to the Steel Construction Manual - 14th edition. Thank you to everyone who has purchased a copy. It helps pay for this website!
As orders dropped off precipitously in the last year, we are not planning another print run. We will, however, do special print runs for orders of 10 or more.
There are no immediate plans for a hard copy for the 15th edition. We will reconsider this, however, if we hear from enough people that they would like one. It takes a lot of time to convert the website version to hard copy, so we need to know if there is demand for it before we embark on the endeavor.

Due to requests for the 13th edition version of A Beginner's Guide to the Steel Construction Manual, we now have more copies available at a reduced rate.  This will be our last run on this text, so get yours while supply lasts.

A Beginner's Guide to the Steel Construction Manual,
Designing with the 13th edition

This is the hard copy version of the popular web edition.  This book is 376 pages on 8.1/2" x 11" paper with a coil binding (for easy use).  The book was substantially upgraded during the summer of 2008 to include new sections on stiffener plates, continuous beam analysis, more example problems, and more.  While the 13th edition has been superseded by the 14th, we find that there are many people still using the SCM 13th edition making this text valuable until the codes catch up with the changes.

Sorry but this book is out
of print and sold out.
