The practice problems coordinate with the Lindeburg reference manual. So there is a lot of stuff in this book that is not tested material on the PE Exam. I also found that the construction area was severly lacking in content. Be careful when using this reference as some of the approaches to answering questions(specifically scheduling and geotech/earthwork) are excessively long and roundabout or just outright wrong. The suggested solutions are not always the quickest way to answer a problem leaving a lot of room for error. Just compare this to the NCEES (they write the PE exams after all) practice exam as well as the Peurifoy, Oberlender, and Hinze text books, and you will find that the Lindeberg contrasts to what is taught in these (which is what you should follow as they are referenced in the practice exam).
If you are contemplating using this book as your main study guide, don't. If you are using this to supplement the NCEES practice exam and the Six Minute Solutions workbooks, you will also find this lacking. Bottom line, this is an okay reference, but should not be on your list of essentials for studying for the exam.

One of the best reference materials for the Civil PE Exam. It is recommended by the test givers.

I used this to study for the April 2009 PE exam, and passed the first time! It covers so many subjects, many of them much more than you'll need for the exam. All the same, this is the best study guide / problems for the PE exam!

It's a great bookof knowledge. However, I have the 7th edition as well and the only thing different is that there are no practice problems in the 11th edition at the end of the chapters. Maybe 2 or 3 sections have been added. There is one big Construction section added, but you could prolly get that info from a construction engineering manual. So - in closing you need a Lindeburg text. I'm not sure it has to be 11th edition.

Tried to use this to study for the PE Exam, but found that the problems are significantly harder than those on the exam. If you can complete these problems, you will have no problem on the exam; but if you can't, don't get discouraged because these problems are so much harder than those on the exam. I ended up not using this book for practice because I was getting so discourage when I was trying the problems.
