I'm a little past page 200, and I am not impressed either; however, I am
learning. There are many typos (Especially with OSPF constantly written as
OSFP.) What really bothers me the most is how the authors represent the IOS
commands, they do not stick to the same method of showing them! Sometimes
they will bold things, sometimes not. It seems to be very hard to tell what
is the actual word you need to type and when you're supposed to type
something in it's place.
A lot of that bugs me, but it will probably also help me learn. Because of
the author's errors, I will have to look up some of the commands in other
places, which will help me remember (Even though it is very annoying!)
Back to the point: Yes, the book has lots of problems, and I think they
should give us a free second edition for putting up with it!

Subject: Not impressed with BSCN Thomas II (book review)
Hey I am only on page 65 and I am getting a little ticked off.
I've been waiting for this book for a month now and I finally got it.
(ordered it so I could not look at it before I paid).
ISBN: 0-07-212477
So far there is a lot of assumption from the authors. All is just "thrown"
with little or no explanation.
Chapter 2 answer key (2.10) full of errors
Typo's: too many to mention
Figures on Chapter 3 (page 65) not very well presented (personal opinion)
I had high expectation and was anticipating a really good book.
I will follow up on this but sure would like some feedback.
Daniel
