CCIE Routing and Switching Official Exam Certification Guide Hardcover – 20 Feb. 2006

I am not re-iterating what the other reviewers have written: it is true and I concur.I only want to stress here how good this author is. Wendell Odom has written at all levels for CISCO press, from the "Computer Networking First Step" to this CCIE book, with the CCNA books in between (and there may be others - these are the ones I have). He makes complex topics easy to read and has a very clear mind. These books are all recommended as general networking texts, even for those not aiming for certification. I wish all tech authors were as good ...

I bought this book about two months ago and recommend this to anyone who is considering the CCIE cert path, however I would recommend this to any networking proffesional as it covers most networking topics in detail but withought the usual Cisco way of reiterating absolutly everything and then doing it again, it is unuaslly concise but very easy to read, I suppose i am just getting sad whren i say I actually enjoy reading this book. In a word its Excellent.
