 Scaled down version of the full study guide August 3, 2010
Raymond Kao
This book is basically the smaller, lean and edited version of the Full CCNA Study Guide (ISBN-13: 978-0470110089) also written by Todd Lammle. If you already have good working knowledge and an idea of the CCNA subject matter and need a quick review of the info - pick up this book. If you're new or need a complete end to end understanding - pick up the full study guide. This book is also good as reference material vs. the full study guide.

 Incomplete March 15, 2010

This book is just a chopped down copy of the full version, multiple times you will be reading along and it will say "In the next section I will cover `this' topic", and you never heard mention of that topic again. I found myself questioning the text, and plan to research the errors I found to see if they are right or not. Not to mention, multiple grammatical errors. I don't claim to be an English buff, but this book was horrible... Waste of money; buy the real thing if you want to learn.
A Poor Piece of Work March 29, 2009

I would recommend you avoid this book at all costs, if you are honestly trying to get your CCNA. The book jumps around, without building a solid base and moving forward. There is no clear IP and Subnetting lessons, before jumping in to question, which do not match up with their diagrams. Spelling errors, and to many other mistakes. I'm contacting the publisher tomorrow to discuss my refund.
 Good Information --- AWFUL Editing March 14, 2009

Why only two stars? Because the editing is absolutely awful.
I really didn't want to give a bad review of this book. The writing style is good, Todd Lammle is an authority on Cisco topics, and the information in the book gets right to the point. In this regard, this book is a great secondary source for CCNA information. This book was never intended to be a primary study guide. It is a fast review of important topics. ... So far so good.
The editing is where this book falls off the rails. Entire sections of the book are duplicated throughout, word for word. I'm not talking about a sentence or two repeated in a summary section at the end of a chapter. I'm talking about whole chunks duplicated in separate chapters. At one point I thought I picked up my book and started reading at the wrong spot. Not so. The information on p54 is completely duplicated on p74.
Another example of very poor editing is at the bottom of p152. The information about the purpose of DHCP is duplicated one paragraph below in the broadcast / unicast data flow of DHCP section. It's worse than a simple mistake because it is misleading and confusing to anyone who doesn't fully understand the dhcp data flow.
There are also review questions that simply don't match the answers. An example is question #1 on p137. The format of the multiple choices is simply messed up.
Todd Lamle's full size study book on the CCNA test is an industry standard. I wouldn't hesitate to get that book.
This book, however, is a miserable hack. It's only redeeming quality is that it is concise and focuses on the things you really need to know to pass the CCNA test.
Todd, please edit this book! Three days in the hands of a good technical editor would turn this lump of coal into a diamond.
