Although the book was well written there were no other aids like a cdrom. Pages themselves were upside down from outer cover and some pages were not properly positioned when printed. There are several other books much better than this one. I would not buy. (hard cover binding reviewed)

Several questions in the sample tests was not covered in the text. This book is a good general overview of the test. Sad part is the first 2 chapters is pretty much sales pitch for you to take the test. Good info on ideas on troubleshooting and client-services skills

I think it is a pretty good book, it includes pictures for both the hardware and software sections of the book.

This book contains about the depth of material you might expect to find in a magazine article about A+ certification. What success it has had was strictly due to the fact that there was so little available on the topic. Thankfully, that situation has now changed. The David Groth titles "Core Module" and "Windows/DOS" from Sybex are so completely superior to this thin overview as to not even be comparable. The sad part about all this is that now that there are finally outstanding books on the topic, CompTIA is about to change the tests (due out in July or so). Though to be honest, the tests (especially the Windows/DOS test) are greatly in need of updating.

Book is not up-to-date. Questions and answers don't seem to make sense. Wait for a better one. And believe me, the A+ TEST is very difficult.

I've never felt so cheated after buying a book. It was poorly written and poorly edited. Also, the authors place too many "war stories" in the text and not enough of the technical details needed for the A+. Luckily, I passed the test recently (no thanks to this book).

I have purchased this book to find out what the A+ certification is all about, which it did explained BUT this is by no means a study guide. I recommend the A+ Exam Cram or Mike Meyers A+ All in One Certification or any other A+ certification books.

A fitting description for this book, even though it is also the name of one of Thomas Mann's novellas. This book should not have even been published, because it is confusing, misleading and contains some outright errors. A scandalous waste of time. Don't even read it from the library. Use other guides. Even "A+ For Dummies" is better than this waste of trees.

After reading this book I told myself 'forget about A+ Certification'but after reading the reviews I feel so much better.This book was very confusing for someone with less than 1 years experience in the computer industry.I agree with another reader who said this should be a news/magz acticle.Anyone have any good recommandation for a good test prep for A+ ?
