Anyone know if there is still a way to buy some of the CSI certification reference materials as a "bundle" more or less? I recall years ago the Project Resource Manual came with a CD in the back that had MasterFormat, UniFormat, SectionFormat etc. Do any of the current Practice Guides have that or an option to buy them that way, or somehow get all the CSI documents that a candidate would need at a better price than buying them individually? I thought I saw one recently at the CSI website but now I cannot find it. I'm asking this for someone who is considering going for the CDT.

In the link you provided it states:
* Includes access to a password-protected website with bonus content, including PDF of the printed book and copies of CSI format documents, such as UniFormat™ and SectionFormat™/PageFormat™--- password to access password-protected website delivered as part of physical Practice Guide

Nice how they hide the "part of physical Practice Guide" in the text rather than just saying "Buy the damn hardcopy!"

Please have your folks note that once you get the notice to download, do it immediately. Ability to download CSI materials seems to disappear rather quickly and without notice. Same day, hour, or minute is not too soon.
