PPI "Comprehensive Reference Manaul"

Maybe i'm seeing or doing something wrong, but I feel like the PPI "Comprehensive Transportation Depth Reference Manual" is garbage. What are your takes on it?

Do you mean the Transportation Depth Reference Manual for the Civil PE Exam?

What is it specifically that you don't like? What does it not contain that you hoped it would?

Well all the references used in that book, according to the PPI website, are out dated.

OP is correct, do not use this text

Yes, None of the references are up to date (not even close). And the material doesn't even cover half of the afternoon portion of the exam! So much for being comprehensive. Wish I didnt buy it. ughh

I thought they had come out with an updated second edition, with updated references and topics, I guess not. http://ppi2pass.com/Docs/bookInfo/CETR/CETRcodes.pdf

I don't think it claims to be comprehensive, does it?
