It is an OK book. She knows her stuff very well, but her book alone is not all that you will need to pass Routing. I would suggest using her book along with TCP/IP Volume I and II. The big TCP/IP books will get into a lot more detail on the topics covered in 640-503. The second volume of TCP/IP covers BGP4 with about 150 pages where Claire only has about 25 or so on BGP4. Sure, you won't need all 150 pages of BGP to pass the test, but it wouldn't hurt to know it. I used her book as a guide only

Back then it was ICRC. She was a fantastic teacher. The way she put things were so unique and unusual that it was difficult to forget what she taught. Like her parable explaining SNA all routes explorers as the same as sending a bunch of boy scouts off on a scouting mission. Its too long to type here, but I'll never forget how SNA routing works. If you ever run into her, ask her about it.
