 Good book, but holy typos!! May 18, 2006
The good point of this book...it conveys the information in an easy to read manner. Most of these textbook type reads put me to sleep. The bad point of this book...as others have mentioned, the typos are difficult to look past. But if you can get past the fact of a wrong word used at the wrong time and a period thrown in here and there where it shouldn't be...give the book a try.
 good for reference, not for exam prep February 6, 2003
This book is laden with stuff useful for anyone dealing with networks on a support level. However using this book as a primary source is a bad bad idea. The spelling, grammar, and factual errors left me with a "duh" a few times. The chapters are out of sequence as far as any type of learning curve (more often than not other chapters are referenced to explain something that's being explained in the beginning chapters). It's very long winded too. I doubt anyone who has read this from cover to cover once can remember nitty gritty details when they hit the last page. The software test really bites too. The questions are WAY easier than what the real test covers. I'm sorry to say this book is out of the return policy timeframe for me. Get the ExamCram book instead.
This book helped very minimal!! December 13, 2002

I read this book, I took the practice exams cd that was included with the book. AND IT WAS TERRIBLE!!! The basic stuff was barely on the NETWORK+ exam. I think that Mike Meyer's Passport was even better than this bible book. I do not recommend this book at all. It just goes through some of the stuff but it is very redundant. I failed the first time I took the NETWORK+ because I changed a couple of answers at the end but then the next day I took it again, I passed with flying colors. I would recommend getting definitely the mike meyer's passport to network+ and another book besides this one as the main source.
 Good content -- but too many typos! November 12, 2002

Though I have found much useful info in this book, and like the practice exams and additional tools on the CD, the many typos and errors (including incomplete sentences) make it difficult to read. I think whoever did the proofreading (if anyone?) must've been asleep.I was familiar with many of the elements and concepts beforehand, but I've had a hard time grasping newer or unfamiliar subjects due to the many mistakes. I will definitely be using other materials to study with.
 Excellent Book August 22, 2002

I bought this book, along with the Network+ Passport by Mike Meyers and passed the test with no problem. I'm a fan of Gilster's books, and this one didn't disappoint. While the Network+ Passport does a great job of skimming over the basics, this book expanded on topics and covered everything necessary. Since I already had networking experience, I could have passed the test with this book alone. I also thought the test software included was pretty solid.
