Summary: Another Great "Tool" From Fluke
Review: It took months for Amazon to dig this book up but it was worth the wait. Like Fluke equipment, the book is top of the range. However, while it does make some allowances for the less technically savvy, it's not really for beginners. (If you are new to networks but have an electronics background I do not classify you as a beginner but if you have some computer skills and have plugged a cable into a hub a few times, I do.)The only fault I can find with it is that it assumes you use Fluke devices for maintaining and trouble shooting...but maybe that is Allen's subtle way of saying "to troubleshoot use Fluke" - advice that is probably as good as what is said explicitly in the text. Although the book has many useful appendices, it is light and reasonably small, so it can easily accompany you on the job. If you are a professional network engineer I think this is a must read. If not, but have a technical foundation, it is a great place to start but for computer users who want to start learning about network maintenance, while helpful, it will be difficult to digest.
