1.0 out of 5 stars Does anyone prrof read at Sybex any longer?, November 20, 2002

This review is from: CCIP: MPLS Study Guide (Hardcover)

Before you even go to the errata page at Sybex just check that the book is all there. Mine wasn't and was missing 30 plus pages. With the extensive errata in hand then take your sissors and paste to transpose various diagrams onto the pages they are supposed to be on. What on earth was Sybex up to releasing this garbage. The technical content of the book is completely trashed by the incomprehensible and multiple mistakes. The author of this book has been terribly let down by the publishing house and should be howling for the blood of the proof readers. To expect the reader to go on a "do-it-yourself" re-publishing exercise with errata, pen, paper and glue in hand is the height of cheek. If this publishing house intends to prove it could not give a damn about its output then this is the book to do it. However they could prove that they care about their customers and authors by withdrawing all copies and republishing the book. As it stands it is not fit for the purpose that it was either intended for or purchased. I did like Sybex, I will be very careful in the future though. Edited on 27/11/2002 Although I have complained now three times to Sybex UK and have been assured by the hapless UK staff that this has been passed on, complete silence from Sybex US. I think the deafness says it all just stay with Cisco's offerings as I will have to. KCH 27/11/2002.

2.0 out of 5 stars Could be a good book, but there are too many errors, October 10, 2002

By 

"krisiasty" (Szczecin, Poland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: CCIP: MPLS Study Guide (Hardcover)

The most annoying thing in that book is there are too many bugs. The commands are incorrect, picutures have wrong descriptions, and some tests have wrong answers (which makes you confused about your knowledge)! The good thing is there are many config examples, but again, all of them are very similar and often unnesscessary. All of this is also true for enclosed CD-ROM - there are many wrong answers in practice tests, and the intro which starts after inserting the CD crashes immediately (tested on Windows XP and Windows 98).

1.0 out of 5 stars Guaranteed to FAIL the exam if you use this...., February 19, 2003

This isn't much of a review, but my ccnp friend has taken the Cisco MPLS exam OVER 6 times so far and failed every time. (I keep telling him to get some other books. Duh!)
...maybe Cisco booby-trapped their exam so readers of THIS book will never get to 85% to pass ;-)
