This seller (unknown to me at purchase) is not in the United States. He is apparantly in the U.K. and it's taking more than 38 days to deliver my book. Well see that is a problem, because I need this text book for a class I am in, by the time the text book gets here it'll be mid-term time and I'll have already failed the course. No where on this guys seller profile does he say he's in the U.K. or out of the United States, so now I am stuck with a $55 book that will be delived 38 days too late......THANKS ... Read More

I am taking the 1st CCNA Cisco course and this was a required book. My book store sold out of this book within the first day of selling it, and in my city, no other book store offered this book.

I got this book because I don't like to read books online. The online material for this class is certainly good but I think it's good to have something you can hold in your hands. I find the book is fairly well written with only a few typographical errors. I have mainly been reading the book and have been acing all the exams. Of course, I've read the chapters a few times apiece.

This is one of the four CCNA textbooks. They are all well written and are an easier read than one would expect. THis is a tough subject, but these books make it a bit easier to comprehend. Thanks Cisco Press!!!
