Need some more books please

IT at work has it blocked. I see it at home
Good point, he may have third party links blocked on his phone.
Concur, a case in point before we could paste pictures here from desktop I had to get authorization from my supervisor and IT to join a third party photo link. Right now I'm using a loaner laptop until we renew or have a new vendor which might be another year.
 
Folks, don't forget to purchase books through Amazon using the links to Amazon on this forum.
As a corporate sponsor, clearly I support the forum. However, I have to warn you about books from Amazon. I bought some for a great price and then they fell apart. They are cheap counterfeits and are NOT well constructed. Here is my video showing you my books falling apart within a few months.


 
I am gearing up to move forward and adopt new editions of the code.
Normally I buy my own books and mark them as "mine - not yours" so that I can take them with me when I get fired. But this year I thought I would give my department the opportunity to buy my books before getting a second job to pay for them. Below is a list of books that should serve any commercial plan reviewer very well. What would be another book that I am missing?


2018 IBC and significant changes combo $137.00

2018 IBC Turbo tabs $13.50

2015 IBC and turbo tab combo $114.00

Significant changes to the 2015 IBC $30.50

(because we are skipping the 2015 codes)

2018 International Existing Building Code $58.00

2018 IEBC turbo tabs $13.50

ASCE 7-16 (wind and snow loads) $216.00

ACI 318-14 (structural concrete) $160.00

Steel Construction Manual 15th edition $201.00

National Design Specifications for Wood Construction 2015 $135.00

ICC A117.1-2017 Accessible Buildings $38.00

Total Cost: $972.00

Thanks!
