1.0 out of 5 stars Wouldn't touch it with a 10-ft pole., April 11, 2001
By 
This review is from: The McGraw-Hill Civil Engineering PE Exam Guide: Breadth and Depth (Hardcover)
FYI, don't bother with this book - it doesn't come close to the competence of CERM7, is about 30% bigger than it needs to be because of the 14-pt type, many of the graphics are illegible, one of the CD's is only a duplicate of the text in the book (the other is a timed version of a good reference, but you can't print it, so it's not worth much), and the "depth" of the book is pretty thirsty at best. If you can pass the exam w/ this book as it advertises, then you don't need to study because you already know it all. Save you money - McGraw Hill is cutting and pasting it's way into your wallet if you buy this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don' Buy IT, October 21, 2002

GAGAN (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The McGraw-Hill Civil Engineering PE Exam Guide: Breadth and Depth (Hardcover)
The book is full of errors. It is hard to follow, even harder to reference to during the Exam. There is nearly not enough information to got a decent overview of some of the more difficult material. It was a complete waste of money for me.

I recommend the Lindeburg book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Many Errors, Horrible Graphs... don't get me started., January 21, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The McGraw-Hill Civil Engineering PE Exam Guide: Breadth and Depth (Hardcover)
i forget what website i bought this from, but if i had read the other reviews i would not have bought it!! i wish i didn't. the only thing this is good for at the exam is if you are too short and need to sit on it as a booster seat.

don't bother wasting your money!
