Experience or Certs?

[cojak]

I've made a conscious decision NOT to take Certes for the next version of ITIL.

I'll buy all of the books (which will probably come out >£300) and leave it at that.

I'd just buy the pocketguides unless your role is specifically to consult on ITIL practice. You can get more detail by googling for articles by well known ITSM consultants or watching brightalk.

Or just buy the old V3 ones secondhand off amazon/ebay. 2011 just made some corrections and added 3 or 4 new processes.

My role is to consult on ITIL practice and I have all of the books from V2 (sometimes more than 1 of the same book...)
When the next version appears I'll probably sell the old V3 library as the old V2 books are still useful and the 2011 are the most recent but a duplication of the V3 as you say.
