The book was right on press day.
Mancomm has printed America's best-regarded CFR books for three decades — and built RegLogic because print has physics problems no publisher can fix: it can't search, can't update, and can't be in two places at once.

Print CFR books vs. RegLogic digital library
What print still does well — and where it fails
A book needs no battery, survives a truck cab summer, and satisfies auditors who want a physical reference on site. For a slow-moving standard consulted occasionally, print works. The failure mode is time and speed: regulations amend continuously, and the book on the shelf doesn't know. Teams keep outdated editions for years — meaning the reference on the shop floor actively misstates current law. And when the answer is needed in a minute, the index-and-flip workflow loses to search every time.
RegLogic carries Mancomm's color-coded formatting — the reason safety professionals bought the books in the first place — into a medium that can stay current, search itself, and hold your team's knowledge in the margins. Many teams run both: books for the office shelf, RegLogic for every pocket.

Common questions
Is the RegLogic text the same as the printed books?
Same source, same color-coded formatting system, same publisher — kept current continuously instead of frozen at print.
Can I still buy Mancomm print books?
Yes — Mancomm continues publishing print CFR editions at mancomm.com. RegLogic is the digital companion, not a replacement mandate.
What does RegLogic cost compared to books?
A single print volume typically costs more than a year of RegLogic Core ($3.95/month or $39.95/year). Both plans cost less than one CFR book edition.
