It was originally supposed to be released in April. That got pushed to July, now it is December. I already have my copy pre-ordered, so I am really hoping it doesn't push again. That date of December was as of the last time I checked (about 2 months ago), it might be next July by now!
I think alot of the theory and detail in the S&J book is above the heads of most undergrads. I looked at it for compression members recently and was like, "if I had to completely understand the development of alot of these equations when I was learning steel design I would have been in deep ****". That being said, I hope it is the book of choice when I have my graduate level steel class.
Does the Segui book reference the 13th edition steel manual?

We used it in Steel I also. Just skipped over the stuff that causes eyes to glaze over.
Definitely the book to have if you need to know where this stuff comes from.
I ate lunch last April with Dr. Salmon at the AISC annual convention in New Orleans. He is enjoying the retirement in Arizona. Good for him. Dr. Farris either co-authoring the text. I think they said that the book was not ready at that time. It will reflect the 13th edition of the steel manual.
