OK, I read some sections and skimmed other sections in the Exam guide (Fourth Edition). It is the best of the three latest Network+ guide books that I've read. I wished it was my first. It is well-rounded in emphasis, introducing the subject material in an easy-to-grasp way. There seemed to be enough Mac/Linux info. I liked the well descriptive illustrations. I also liked that the material was not introduced before its time, but was described enough at the right time. This book doesn't have any bullet points at the end of the chapters. Though other exam guides are better to cram with, this guide makes a better introduction.
Of the big three Network+ exam guides out there, this is the best and most reliable. I found very few typos (4), and only three areas of conficting detail info. The good news is that none of the questions/answers in the book or in the one practice exam (50 questions) were found to be wrong (and I did all of them). I would recommend this book over the other 2 that I read.
Very useful. October 5, 2009

Purchased this item, read through and studied from it for two weeks, and took the exam. Passed with an 885. I did have prior networking experience, but you are supposed to when you pursue the Network+. If you have any working knowledge of networking, this book is all you need to pass the exam.

I am, right now, still in the middle of reading and studying for the Network + Exam, but I would recommend this book to anyone who is wanting to acquire this certification. I read his A+ study guide and passed that exam with flying colors.
What I like specifically is he separates history and concept info separate from the exam material. So you get a good overview of all concepts so that you better understand it. But because he does highlight the material that actually will be on the exam, you don't spend hours memorizing things....only to find out they weren't even on the exam.

great book. recommended by friends. easy reading and picturesque. although i'm only at the beginning, i'm sure the latter chapters will get more difficult. but for someone with NO knowledge, it's a good starter.
Excellent source of Information March 10, 2010

I recently purchased this book as a reveiw before I take my Exam in the coming months. I have been studying about routers, switches, routing protocols and switching protocols for about a year now. This book covers much of what I already learned from taking formal courses through DeVry University. I am at the point in the book where it talks about CIDR and APIPA. Subnetting is very important information and can be implemented in your own network for more control on what your DHCP server (home router) does. When I learned how to implement this, and knowing how many computers are going to be accessing my network at a given time, It just made more sense to get this done, on top of MAC filtering and WPA2/AES encryption.
All in all, I believe this book serves its purpose as a review more than anything, and I am hoping I will pass with flying colors when it comes to the actual exam.
