Summary: What A Great Book!!!
Comment: I have an extensive library: all the Cisco Press books, Cisco course guides, Cisco Technical Expert Series, etc, and I can tell you that this book really stands out on a crowded bookshelf. If you have ever spent an hour reading Cisco documentation and felt it left you hanging without all the info you needed, then this is the book for you. I am currently preparing for the CCIE lab, and this book is just fabulous. In particular, I have found it a superb resource for: frame relay, DLSw+, DECnet, LAT, CAT Switch Configs. The book is a real bargain at whatever price they want to charge!

Summary: A must read for the CCIE lab exam.
Comment: Caslow's book provides what is probably the most important aspect of the CCIE lab exam: A solid methodology on how to approach the test. His book covers all the technologies related to the CCIE lab exam and how these technologies interact between them. However, his "spot the issue" and structured approach to completing the exam is what enabled many CCIEs to successfully pass the exam. Knowledge is one thing. Applying it is equally important. This book is one of the only CCIE texts that cover both aspects thoroughly.

Summary: That was then, this is now...
Comment: I started my CCIE lab studies with this book in 2000, it was an easy read and I really liked this book, specifically the Frame Relay section which still applies to today's lab. But, I had to put a hold on studies for a while.
I started my CCIE studies again in 2002 and passed the lab in 2003. During that time I glanced at this book for a total of 20 minutes. There are simply so many other books by CiscoPress that are better than this one, although, again, the Frame Relay section very well done. But certain sections, such as switching, token ring, and quite a few others simply don't apply anymore. Also, the Lab exam is so different now, with 3550's, QoS, Multicast galore, that this book falls of the required reading list.
I do think the author did a great job on this book initially, but it needs a facelift of major proportions.
