Does BeachFront have editors?
I bought this book because it came highly recomended on Amazon and was on sale at the time. This book is filled with type-os and incorrect information. The basic text is okay, though longwinded and uninteresting, but the number of mistakes is unbelieveable. I would have to recomend getting the Exam cram book instead.

Great book
The Insidescoop for Security + was very helpful to me. The author made the subject understandable and I was able to grasp many of the concepts I had previously had problems with. Unlike many other books, which seem to read like stereo instructions, the language in the book was clear and understandable.

A sure fire winner and rival to any other study guide.
CompTia release of the new Network+ exam with all new updates has spawned an abundance of books, tests, study guides and training material. What separates the good from the bad is the way the material is presented, the detail and the technical accuracy of the material. This book ranks as one of the best I have seen. I read the book from cover to cover twice; I was highly impressed by the authors' attention to detail and the amount of information contained within the 750 pages. I found the book to be well edited and found very few technical or grammar errors. The information does indeed exceed the exam objectives making this a very useful tool. The book has one of the best breakdowns for the OSI model and TCP/IP I have come across. The book has test questions, tips, tricks, diagrams and figures in each chapter. One of things I was most impressed with was the way the information is laid out in a language that just about everyone can understand and comprehend. Also include in the package I got was subliminal audio cd, this cd I played while working and sleeping and found I was able to retain more information. It may not be for everyone but it does provide another source of study material. Keep in mind it will not replace the book you still need to study and practice. Finally there is a cd included in the book with the BeachFront Quizzer program and a set of over 200 questions to practice from. About the only 2 drawbacks is that I could find is there should be more questions on the practice cd and the price is a little steep. Aside from that you have an excellent package to work and learn from. While the book may be a little on the pricey side this should not deter anyone seeking the certification from buying it, I believe the investment is worth it. Overall this is book rivals any other out there today.
