This was exactly what I expected. In the professional engineering circles, it is important to maintain the latest specifications on which your analyses must be based.

If it's original copy, it'll be much better and easier to use.2006 International Residential Code - Softcover Version (International Residential Code)

Everything you need to build a garage (or house)!
If you are acting as a contractor on your home or garage project, then this book is invaluable to make sure that the subs are building to code or making sure that you are building to code. As an retired contractor and engineer, I've come to realize over time that codes actually do have a purpose in life besides making the building process a pain. The old farm house I bought probably wasn't built to code and it shows. A lot of farmers around here have to get up on their out-building and shovel snow because every year one or two more of their buildings collapse.

The book is well organize by project phase so things are easy to find--cement pad, walls, floors, roof, etc.
