Civil Engineering Materials - Best Value, Clear Prices and Condition

[chadpraul]

Need to pass the Civil Engineering exams? I’m selling THE set of books and practice problems that got me through the national and California Civil Engineering exams. This set is complete and includes everything you actually need except the CERM. Each of the books is listed with price, book condition and some other prices for your comparison. Hopefully these prices seem attractive, my goal is to conveniently clear my bookshelf rather than get full value from the books. If you want 4 books, I will discount the prices by 10%. If you want the whole set, I will cover shipping and discount all prices 15%. Feel free to call me if you have questions (530) 318-4540. -Chad

I don't think it's fair to say that this is the complete needed set of books one would need to pass the (CA) PE exam. Some necessary (in my opinion) books are missing, some listed are not needed and some (many) listed are outdated.
