At least from the outline, the contruction portion doesn't sound super hard.

I am taking in CA which means I really need time for the other two tests as well - Seismic and Surveying. Plus those are supposedly much harder (pass rates of only 30-40%) and i never studyed them or use them at work.

Here is the search form from the libarary in my town. It has Lindeburg book listed:

You can also buy and sell used books on bookfinder.com if you want to go that route.
RE: April 2008 PE Exam
I worked every problem in it, bound all my "homework" and had them with me during the exam.
Passed easily.
Plus all the code books (I took the transportation) were invaluable.
IMHO it is irresponsible of a test-taker to try and take the PE exam "on the cheap."

the California special survey test is not particularly difficult. However, the special seismic exam is quite difficult and I would expect pass rates to be closer to 10 - 15%. First time I took it the pass rate was 7%. If you have not put the time into studying for the seismic, you had better get moving because it is a bearcat!
RE: April 2008 PE Exam
Did anyone who took the CA seismic need the Code books for a lot of look-ups? would you recommened buying it and getting familiar before the test?
Also here's where I found the pass rates for seismic:
