5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference - but too expensive at New Book price, June 30, 2009

This is a great reference for writing techincal protocols and test reports. In my opinion, however, it is not worth the ~$50 NEW BOOK price. $15 would be more appropriate considering it is soft cover and 90 pages.
Find a good used copy from one of the Amazon Marketplace vendors and save yourself some $$$.

I work for an IT Consulting firm and needed to know a little bit more about the engineering side of comminications technology. This book is great if you have a little working knowledge of technology but need more information on the topic. I am going to pass it around the office!!
