Mark, Thanks for ordering my book. Actually, I was in discussion with McGraw-Hill, Syngress and CiscoPress and all three wanted me to publish a book on the PIX. CiscoPress wanted me to do a certification book and I wanted to do a stand-alone book. I was leary about going with Syngress since they're a small publisher and my last small publisher, The Coriolis Group, went belly-up earlier this year. Let me know what you think about my book--good and bad :-). Also, make sure you take advantage of the stuff that I couldn't fit into the book by visiting my web site.
