I'm currently preparing for the PMP exam, and despite having digital access to the PMBOK 6th edition, I'm interested in acquiring a physical copy. When I initially joined this community earlier this year, I believe I spotted the book listed in the resources section. Unfortunately, it seems to have been removed since then. In my opinion, having it as an option would be valuable, considering the exam's continued reliance on it.
I'm seeking advice on where I might be able to find a hard copy of the PMBOK 6th edition, aside from purchasing it from Amazon. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Maria Saving Changes...

That's a really good idea, Sergio, it didn't cross my mind and I will check now.
PMI no longer publishes a hardcopy version of the Sixth Edition for purchase so your best bet will be through booksellers like Amazon.
You could also check with members of your local PMI Chapter to see if any of them have a hardcopy which they might be willing to either lend or sell you as that'd likely be a lot cheaper than a new copy.

Maria,
pmi.org store does not sell back-level standards, like PMBoK Guide ed6 of before.
Whats wrong with buying it instead from amazon or ebay?

Yes, thank you Rami, I was avoiding this alternative, or keeping it as my last resort - was hoping to find reliable sources of this book through PMI.
Its more or less the same, and sometimes using amazon is even less hectic because PMI store redirects you sometimes to their authorized sellers. Saving Changes...
Search Google for used copies. It's frequently used as a textbook in university courses and many students sell their books when done. New it's about $100 on Amazon. Used hardcover versions sell for about half. Digital versions range from about $10 to about $20 but since the sellers don't own the copyright and the original versions are password protection, the quality of the scans my vary considerably.
