I bought the book mostly out of curiosity because of the June 2000 date on
it.
After flipping through it last night my first impressions aren't very
positive.
Which I probably should have expected as compared to other books, it's kinda
thin - physically. Not the tomes other CCIE books have been.
Not that size matters (yeah, right) but there is so much material required
for CCIE.
Also, I tried a few of the questions and it didn't take long for me find
ones I wasn't happy with vis a vis agreeing with their answers - but this
only gets you to dive into some other resource to verify that you are
right - a learning process either way.
On sober second thought I would wait on buying this one until a few members
of the list who are book nuts can review it more in depth.
