Hello, is the ASTD third edition a useful resource for learning and use as a reference for the CPTD certificate; because the reference used in the guideline for studying and preparing for CPTD is the ASTD second edition?

The most comprehensive TD Handbook ever written. The contributors are top-of-the-line, generous with their content, and strategic in their delivery. I have to commend ATD and Elaine Bierch for this amazing resource, a must-own for anyone doing TD. It sits on my desk, and I use it daily...I have paper clips marking each section with tabbed flags, and every time I open the book to a section, I have a new learning experience. Just amazing. Buy it...now.

So far I am happy with the content of the book but I am not able to access any of the resources mentioned. I see below that this has been addressed and a different web page address given but it also redirects me back to this page.
