I waited more than a year for this book
I only wish if they fix those errors... Its a copy-paste of the CCIE topics with a brief definition of each, so it might refresg ur memory, as a dictionnary, not more. I hope Ciscopress can cover it up by editing it and sending the list of errors.

Book covers for previous test versions!!
I had no problem with the format of the book as a tool to review the information; however, the review all applies to an old version of the test. This book has little to no value as a tool to review the current version of the CCIE written examination. It was a major waste of money.

Second Edition addresses many of the below issues
The CCIE Routing and Switching Exam Certification Guide (ISBN 1-58720-053-8) is the Cisco Press official exam guide for the written portion of the Cisco CCIE Routing and Switching Exam. The Guide was written by A. Anthony Bruno who is a CCIE (No. 2738). This guide was written in 2003 and addresses the current exam blueprint as given by Cisco for preparation of the written exam. In order to become a CCIE, candidates must pass both a written exam and a practical (lab) exam. The lab portion cannot be attempted until the written is passed. This book focuses on outlining for the reader the objectives for the written exam and then proceeding to tackle each objective in an orderly and sensible method. The book begins by providing and description of the CCIE certification and then forms and outline of the objectives with an extremely handy reference to the appropriate chapter that addresses each objective. This helps during reviewing of the objectives by allowing the reader to quickly locate the subject in the book saving precious time that each CCIE candidate tends to appreciate more than anyone.
Each chapter begins with a "Do I Know This Already" Quiz so that the reader can check on his knowledge of the chapter's material prior to reading the chapter. Performing well on the quiz will allow the reader to "skim" the chapter or skip it altogether (though I strongly recommend at least skimming the chapter as you never know what extra piece of information you might get that may help you on the test). This is another time saving idea that has been used successfully before in many other Cisco Press Exam Certification Guides. The Chapter then provides the material in a way that allows the reader to focus on items that are likely to be exam related. Each topic is presented with plenty of illustrations and examples so that the reader can get a good understanding of the topic and see how it might be used in real applications of the technology. Each example and illustration is clearly laid out and detailed. Each chapter continues with a summary of the chapter consisting of the most important and exam related items of the chapter. Finally, a Q & A section completes the chapter providing a bank of questions related to the chapter just completed. Answers and explanations to the question are provided in an Appendix section at the end of the book.
Lastly, the book comes with companion CD-ROM with a practice test consisting of over 200 practice questions. This test is customizable to allow the reader to focus on those topics that require more attention.
The CCIE Routing and Switching Exam Certification Guide is a well written and concise book providing the reader with the necessary information to guide the reader to a successful attempt at the CCIE written exam. A. Anthony Bruno does a wonderful job in attacking each exam objective in enough detail and examples to provide the reader with the foundation required for this difficult test. I would rate this a definite 5 out of 5 and would recommend that anyone serious about taking the CCIE written exam add this valuable book to their library.
