I want to purchase "Building Code Illustrated" but there are several editions with big price gaps, I dont mind spending money but I do mind wasting money. Should I get the latest edition or all editions the same ?
Thank you,

With Building Code Illustrated, use the 2012 version or cross reference whatever version you use against the 2012 code. The others are more flexible.

With Building Code Illustrated, use the 2015version or cross reference whatever version you use against the 2015code. The others are more flexible.
