Summary: Good book but challenge questions not realistic enough
Comment: Todd Lammle's BSCI book was probably the first one to cover Cisco's new BSCI 640-901 exam with the inclusion of a chapter in ISIS. However be warned, the chapter on ISIS in Lammle's book does not cover a lot of areas that Cisco could bring up in the exam. Cisco published an addendum to the BSCN book by Catherine Pacquet on their web site a while back. You would be well advised to study that ISIS chapter. (It is 104 pages long!). You will find for instance that there is more to the ISIS backbone area than you read about in Lammle's book. Also the challenge questions in Lammle's book are likely to lull you into a false sense of security. The Boson tests will prepare you better for the BSCI exam. Having said that, I like Lammle's clear presentation of topics, especially the way he presents typed in commands and device outputs. I find these are much clearer than the equivalents in the Cisco Press BSCN and BSCI books. You may want to browse this book before making the final decision to buy.

Summary: Lammle has done it again - no surprise here!
Comment: Having used Todd Lammle's CCNA study guide to pass the exam I found that his books have the unique ability to convey the information without losing the reader in the process. This book, while for the 640-901 exam can also be used to study for the 640-603 routing exam and it too is easy to follow.
In just over 640 pages you begin with the customary Sybex subject assessment test. From there you have over 60 written and Hand-on labs as well as over 75 challenge labs, what might be added to the next version is a simulator to go with the book.
The author's give more than enough information to exceed the exam objective, the material is presented in a clear yet detailed manner, which includes diagrams with screenshots of the router code to aide in the visual learning process.
Topics like IP Addressing, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF in both single and multiple arenas, IS-IS and BGP are discussed and practiced. The book has a cdrom which include the e-book the study guide as well as over 200 practice questions to prepare for the live exam. Once again Todd Lammle has succeeded in producing a top of the line manual and study guide.

Summary: Carl Timm really pulls it together
Comment: Carl Timm who wrote most of this book and will write the updated 642 test version really knows this material. The preparatory reading from this book and Timm's style of writing (that is often credited elsewhere) really prepared me for the hardest of the CCNP tests. This is a crucial exam and topic as it covers material required for the BSCI test required for the CCNP, CCDP, CCIP and is good prep heading into the CCIE R&S. While I had critical experience in the field with this technology, the material is presented very well and is a great prep for the exam. The key is to read this material and understand it. This will not cram you for the exam, but lays the groundwork for better understanding of the topics which will carry you further than just passing the test. If you can correctly answer the practice questions throughout the book, you will demonstrate your command of the material (and pass the test).
