Summary of writer's book of "CCNA Study Guide Exam 640-801"
Basically this book is a summary of writer's book of "CCNA Study Guide Exam 640-801". Even the words are the exact same (verbatim)! The only difference is that the "CCNA Study Guide Exam 640-801" has more discussion of theory and basic knowledge involved. My guess is that the publisher only "cut and paste" and orginize in different style.
I don't say that this is good or bad book. I just want to inform you what you will get from this book. If you have the writer's book "CCNA Study Guide Exam 640-801", then you may want to consider the following:
1) Do you need another book with redundant content (even with verbatim words)?
2) Do you need a summary book of the "CCNA Study Guide Exam 640-801"?
If you say "yes" to at least one of the above questions, then go ahead and buy this book. If you say "no", then maybe you want to check out Ciscopress's CCNA exam preparation books. This way, you can get different point of view of how to prepare CCNA exam; which I think will enrich your knowledge and preparation.
Now if you don't have the writer's book of "CCNA Study Guide Exam 640-801", then you may get this book as a study guide. However keep in mind that as mentioned previously, this book is more of a summary which include minimal background theory. Therefore if you think you don't have proper understanding of such theory, you might want to pick up the writer's book of "CCNA Study Guide Exam 640-801" instead.
Either path you choose, Lamme's book of CCNA preparations have been recognized as a "good book to pass CCNA exam". Please note that this statement is not advertising. This statement have been said by numerous people who had good experience in reading Lamme's and passed the CCNA exam in first try. So you should not go wrong! :)
Final word, I wish you all good luck to pass CCNA exam at first try. Keep in mind that CCNA certification only looks good in resume, however it does not guarantee you to get your "dream job". Heck, even a lot of CCIE have the same problem. Another important side is that you should have various "big-corporation" networking knowledge as well. Think of Cisco certification as "validation" or "formality" of your networking knowledge and skill and NOT as "guarantee" of getting dream jobs :D
