i like structural steel design by jack mccormac, this was our textbook in college & there is a new edition which i'm still waiting for someone to post here.
For American code with LRFD design, you can refer the Schaum's outline series book,
"Structural steel design" by Abraham rokach.

It is available in our forum in the following link:

For LRFD,I like the book "Steel Structures. Design and Behavior" by Salmon & Johnson. Its a very complete book. I use it in my course.

It is available in this forum
How about for BS code?..Which text book is the best?.. Grin
For BS code, I would like to recommend "Structural steelwork, Design to limit state theory" – T J MacGinley & T C Ang. This book is also available in our forum. This book has presented the basic theory as well as a lot of example make it easy understanding.

Regards,
How about the Australian Codes? Can anyone recommend any steel design books based on AS4100?
