Cisco Press and the Sybex are the most popular but any book that you can learn something is always a good book.

Let me ask you a question Johnny... how are the Bryant Advantage PDFs? If you are a past student... then of course you can be biased but I hoping to receive a true honest answer.

The Binary PDF was well worth the 10 bucks I paid for it. That finally got me over the hurdle of VLSM.

As far as the actual handbook, I havent been dipping into it too much, its focused around renting his rack labtime, which isnt that pricey. I have been using my lab for almost all routing and most switching, and Boson Netsim for frame relay, ISDN, and 2950 specific tasks.

Overall its good though, especially for the price.
