Summary: A good reference book, but not much else.
Comment: I used the book to help pass my A+ tests, but there were several shortcomings. First, some of the info was wrong, such as the Cyrix DLC processor including a FPU. Also, the writing style is worse than an encyclopedia. It's simply too dry to keep your attention, but the book is nice to have around as a reference manual.

The CD that comes with the book is of some value in preparing for the test, provided you unlock it for extra money. The problem is that the test program has bugs that incorrectly graph scores and give error messages during scoring, and some of the diagrams do not match the questions. In addition, some of my answers to the questions were marked wrong when, according to the book, my answer was right. Looking on the web site provided an errata for the book (which didn't mention the Cyrix CPU), but there was no patch to fix the test CD. Talk about a defective product!

Finally, the book is unneccesarily detailed in some cases, such as CPU pins config, but not detailed enough in other cases. Again, its better as a reference manual than an exam prep, especially because of the problems with the CD, which could have been a great prep if done right.
