Customer Review: While I'd rate the book a five star if it was still useful, the exam is now retired. There should be another book coming out for the new version of the exam. Check at Cisco Press, or wait until Amazon gets the new books. Purchasing this book would be a waste of money. While most of the material is... more info
Customer Review: This book is trash, it might work as a reference or review if you know the content already. It has multiple typos in each page (almost) even in the samples! The samples are not explained enough. Through the first few chapters the book mentioned things assuming the reader knows it, causing a lot... more info
Customer Review: In preparing for Cisco exams, I read the Amazon reviews before deciding on study material.

It came in a plastic wrap, but listed as used. Has someone already used this book and taken out the CEU certificate? I would like... more info
Customer Review: I purchased this book to prepare Cisco's 642-521 certification exam on the PIX firewall. There is alot of useful information and the book is pretty thorough. However, I got a couple of PIX's and tried to go through all the labs which follow the chapters. Not everything is covered. Chapter 10 on... more info
Customer Review: This book, while obviously having loads of information, is not as helpful as its price should indicate. I found many small typos throughout the book, and there are numerous times that I found actually incorrect information. After studying this book very heavily, I found that it only mentioned about... more info
Customer Review: I NEVER received this product. Woody's Books claims they shipped it over a month ago, then informed me they sent multiple items and would I please return the excess products. Well, none of the books ever arrived. They did issue a refund.
