Hi guys!

Does it make sense to buy a book cobering CCNA/CCDA?
I've found that book about it... http://tinyurl.com/a9gyw Anybody to tell
me what he thinks about it? What do you suggest?

Thanks, JC

Everyone learns differently. Some people might find how this author
presents the material to
be more understandable than how Cisco presents the material in their books
and online
documentation. You just have to try it and see for yourself.

I agree.

Decent books are quite hard to find and I find them difficult to
evaluate before buying. That sinking feeling as I turn to
chapter 3 is quite familiar.

In general I do quite like the Cisco Self Study material
and have used it to pass CCNA and recently CCNP switching bit
(BCMSN?) with one Cisco press book each. It now looks as if

ISBN 58720-081-3
CCNP Self Study
CCNP CIT
Exam Certification Guide

will do the job for me for that one too.

I am however fairly experienced with both Cisco and networking
and I was able to do these tests with no additional hands on work.

One thing, in the UK at least, is to be VERY careful that you
do not buy obsolete books. The book shops in
Central London have shelves full of obsolete Cisco exam study
material.
