Summary: Great PE reference Guide
Comment: I used this book along with the class and the key is to get familiar with the book. Passed the PE on the first try. I still use the book as my primary reference it's that good! Unfortunately, the book doesn't talk to you, or transfer material by osmosis so you still need to take the time and read it. The book doesn't cover fundamentals(if you need this, get the FE book). It gives you cookbook formulas and information needed to solve about 90% of the problems. It may be wise to take a PE refresher course to help walk you through the material. As for the errors, the publisher posts the errata/corrections on the web and keeps it updated. There is also a solutions manual for the book, I highly recommend this if you are preparing for the PE.

Summary: The Quintessential Engineering Reference
Comment: This is bar-none the most complete and easiest to understand reference and study guide on the market. I used it almost exclusively when studying for and taking the P.E. and passed on the first try. My only regret is that I did not buy a copy upon graduation from college as it and would have most likely increased my on the job learning curve. It is truly a must-have reference for any engineer's bookshelf
My hat is off to M. R. Lindeburg, P.E.

Summary: Great tool, but FULL of errors!
Comment: Don't get me wrong, I don't regret buying this book, but the overwhelming number of errors in this book is staggering and inexcusable, especially since all of the formulas and most of the problems should just be cut-n-paste from various respected sources. It's frustrating not knowing if your getting a practice problem wrong because you're doing it wrong or because the book has the wrong formulas, problem wording, problem answers, etc.
Even the online errata list only covers a portion of the errors.
