i found this to be a very well detailed book if your planning on going on to achieve your CompTIA Network+ cert. its very detailed and covers absolutly everything (and more) that you need to know to get a pass on this exam ....
even at the back of this book there is approx. 300 pages of objectives, practice, testing, and a very nice glossary, and also a CD is included with this book which has CoursePrep software..

Pros:
very detailed
Cons:
it's long. and not much on IPv6
had this one for school and it was actually pretty good, for a school book. lots of useful info. it helped me set up my home network. a little long. but then again i get tired after half a page, otherwise it would be a 9 or 10.
this teaches you everything you need to know about the OSI model, what agency does what, how to set up the physical layer, fault tolerance, how to use IPv4 and a beginning of linux and solaris, and network security.
since IPv6 is on it's way in, it would have been nice if it would have had something on that in there, but it only made references to it.

Cons:
This book is definitely of poor quality. You will walk away from the experience feeling very frustrated if this is your introduction into networking. Fortunately, I had enough background experience to compensate for the book's many omissions. There are many errors and incorrect statements in the book.
