You're talking about this one:
<http://www.ciscopress.com/title/1578701791>? Looks like it tells you
about how IOS versions are developed and how to choose one (you need
336 pages for that!?). Once you've chosen it won't tell you how to use
it - for that, if you're using paper, then you'll need another few feet
of shelf space. It's debatable whether that could be regarded a
complete reference either.

A 2 year old book is not *old*. Especially since the majority of networking
protocols have been there for 25 years, and the the IOS syntax has barely
changed in the last 15 years (there are more options, of course...)

The reviews here seem to indicate that it's a good entry/mid-level book.

(Sorry about the word-wrap)

The author's "errata" page is not too bad... ;-)

I've seen worse, but I haven't read it so I can't say how it really is.

Not sure. But here are my favorite books:

Advanced IP Routing by Slattery and Burton
Routing TCP/IP Vol I & II by Doyle
Cisco Routers for IP Routing Little Black Book: The Definitive Guide to
Deploying and Configuring Cisco Routers by Innokenty Rudenko.
Internet Routing Architecture by Halabi.
Enhanced IP Services by Lee.

I don't know, but you referred to 'cisco's own "The Complete
Reference"'. That's not a Cisco Press book, so it's not Cisco's own.
it might be very good, but I'm still wary of something that claims to
be a "complete reference" to all Cisco stuff and is still only one
book!
