Another Rave
Look, this book is worth the price for the first chapter alone. I'm near completion of semseter 4 of the Cisco Adademy, and I found Odom's opening overview to be the most cogent and well written description of the subject I've read. I didn't buy the book to pass the CCNA (I'll have that handled with sybex and Cisco press) but rather because this book, and this writer, have the ability to seamlessly communicate the subject in a way that creates real understanding, placing sometimes disparate pieces of information into an understandable context. Do what you want, but I'd buy the thing..

Really Good!
I just took Sean Odom's Switching Class so I know the value of this book. After going through it and comparing it to the courseware books and others I have quickly learned that there is not a book that I can find that matches the step-by-step information this book provides. So I am giving it 5 stars.
