Construction Planning, Equipment, and Methods ISBN: 0072964200

I see this book being referenced quite a few times in the official NCEES sample questions. Has anyone bought this and used in his or her preparation for the Construction PE? It received poor reviews on Amazon.

I'm on the fence about this book. I don't have any book dedicated to construction equipment.

Please post any thoughts.

I had a very old version of the book and it was quite helpful, there are sections on project managments and costing that are good and there is nowwhere else to get the equipment information. The information you need is not real comtemporary so you may want to look for an older edition at less cost.
