hmmm.. don't know why you said that I had the same shipping
problem...
I didn't read that in Chuck's post
I have a couple of nit-picky complaints about the book (as I do about
almost every book I read). There are some typo's as a previous poster

I must join the discussion and add some of my most recent experience

I got my CCIE Practical Studies book via half.com yeaterday and I had the
same shipping problem. I saved about $25 on the price of the book, but the
delivery took over 3 1/2 weeks! I don't think there was even a stamp or

Chuck,
Check out my review of the book: http://www.optsys.net/review.htm
Let me know your thoughts on it. If you put a formal review together as

add it to that web page.
thanks,
