I'm prepping for a crash course to take the PMP exam, most likely after the new test is implemented. I've been wanting to get the 7th edition PMBOK guide, but I'm hesitant. All reviews on Amazon say that the paperback version has terrible "anti-counterfeit print technology" that makes it hard to read.

There's also the digital version that comes from being a member, but I'm not a member yet. Also, I like having hard copies for marking up.

Any input on your experiences with purchasing PMBOK? Thanks!
