Rating:  Summary: Nicely written book... Review: This book is great for the following reasons:Easy to read format with graphical illustrations, End of chapter Summary and key words, End of chapter questions, Appendix contains test questions, CD-Rom includes a copy of the entire book along with test questions and utilities (for those people that travel with their laptop and dont feel like lugging around a bulky book), I'm A+ and N+ certified. I've read a lof of computer books so I know from experience the good from the bad books.
Rating:  Summary: Not enough detail. Review: This was an excellent book for a beginner and was an excellent introduction to Win2k Pro, but there wasn't enough detail. I made the mistake of using this as my primary reference and failed the 70-210 test. There were many questions on the test that were not covered in this book. I would recommend using more than one source. I would also recommend that Sybex fire their editor. There were dozens of grammar mistakes. Overall I would recommend this book as an introduction to Win2k Pro, but I would definitely supplement your studies with other book like Exam Cram.
Rating:  Summary: Good book, bad binding Review: Yep, I agree with everyone else, it's a keeper. Just make sure you have lots of sticky tape though, my copy began to fall apart as soon as I got it. I live in Japan and time and money stopped me from returning the book so I spend about two hours studying and thirty minutes sticking. Not fun.
