I took the PE Mechanical Exam in April, and brought only this book to the test. It is more than complete and contained all the information necessary to answer all questions but one. However, it is very bulky and difficult to flip through quickly so i made separate, spiral-bound copies of the index, the appendices i had used for the sample problems, and a few pages of the text i thought most relevant to my depth section. this helped immensely! I also bought the practice exam by lindeburg, and found it to be of little use since the problems were much more difficult than the actual exam; so if you do them, don't worry too much about how long they take you to complete.
