Summary: VERY Microsoft-centric
Comment: Don't get me wrong, this is a comprehensive book, but while reading you have to keep in mind that it is basically Microsofts "opinion". It presents a history of computing that shines a very favourable light on the Windows operating systems and, as should probably be expected, look after their Intel buddies.
It is not the best book for a study guide, but rather is written in a format that is possibly a bit more logical - it's goal is not simply to get you past the exam, it actually tries to TEACH you what the principles of the A+ Certification are testing.
An experienced technician looking to formalise their knowledge with a piece of paper would probably find this book tedious and boring, but for an absolute novice, I strongly recommend that you read another version on PC history AS WELL to maintain a balanced view - a study guide from a different publisher would probably be sufficient to "round out" your A+ certification reading.
As always, complement with online study guides and as many practice tests as you can lay your hands on.

Summary: Great book for beginner!
Comment: As a computer beginner(end-user experience only), I was finding A+ to be extremely difficult. I went through the A+ "boot-camp" at a school, studied their textbook "Mindworks" and still felt I had so many gaps to fill. This book filled them and yes I passed both exams on the same day 7 weeks after my first class with 80% on both. Someone with experience would probably want the Meyers book - I looked through it at a bookstore. I would probably want to use it too when and if I ever get a job in the field. But for someone who is just starting and needs to learn a whole lot of sometimes overwhelming information -IT'S A GOOD BOOK. However practical experience counts as well and I don't believe I could have understood the information as well without the practical "hands-on" certification class.

Summary: Good but not enough...
Comment: Hey all.. this book is a really good resource for the exam, but for sure it is not enough, cuz it doesn't cover the new 2003 objectives such as WinXP in the OS section and many other things in the core section.. I passed the tests using this book as one of my study materials, as well as the Microsoft Readiness Review and A+ Exam Cram, A+ Exam Prep (useful for WinNT), and Macaraft PrepLogic 4th edition, and still non of these books cover all of the new 2003 objectives...
Good luck all...
