Summary: Above comments not quite acurate...
Comment: I've always been a fan of Cisco Press books (except for CID), but I'd like to clarify the comments that the previous poster made.
Please note that Cisco's site states:
"The CCIE Program is proud to announce the upcoming release of the revised CCIE Routing and Switching Written Exam (350-001). The new version of the exam will go live, and replace the current exam, on August 7th, 2002. Note: The revised exam will consist of 150 questions and be 180 minutes in duration."
From what I can gather, it's just a revised CCIE exam that's keeping the 350-001 number. Anyhow, the CCIE program manager supposedly had his hand in the development of this book so I sure hope I'm right.

Summary: Good Reference Tool...
Comment: CCIE Routing and Switching Exam Certification Guide
ISBN: 1587200538
CCIE Routing and Switching Exam Certification Guide by Anthony Bruno is a very good reference for those preparing for the CCIE Routing and Switching Qualification exam.
The book is broken into the following chapters:
1. CCIE Certification, Test Preparation, and Using This Book
2. Networking Concepts Review
3. Cisco Equipment Operations
4. Local-Area Networks and LAN Switching
5. Wide-Area Networks
6. Internet Protocols
7. Static Routing and Distance Vector Routing Protocols
8. IP Link-State Routing Protocols
9. Border Gateway Protocol
10. Administrative Distance, Access Lists, Route Manipulation, and IP Multicast
11. Traffic Management
12. Multiservice Networking, IPX Networking, and Security
The chapters structure of the book follow the exam blueprint very closely. The main thing to note with this book is that it was originally written for the previous version of the qualification exam. So every thing that is included in this book is not necessarily still on the new blueprint.
The idea behind this guide is to provide key information pertaining to the items that are the exam blueprint. This guide was not meant to provide in depth detail on every topic. This is the main reason that the author included detailed lists of reference material at the end of each chapter. The content that was included was presented in a very clear, easy to follow format. Plenty of configuration examples were provided as well as debug and show command output.
One chapter that was well put together was Chapter 8. It did a good job describing the features of both OSPF and IS-IS. It covered the deployment and basic configurations of both protocols. It did not cover the advanced features of the protocols but it did include references to other books (that a CCIE candidate should already have) and links to CCO pages.
I was kind of disappointed with the material in chapter 12. Multiservice is fairly new to the Qualification exam so I am assuming that is the reason for the lack of information. Most topics just had a paragraph or two providing a definition of the service. Hopefully this will be corrected in the next version of the book.
The book provides different methods of testing you knowledge. There are questions throughout the book that allows you to tell if you grasping the content. A CD is provided what contains testing software that simulates taking an actual exam. I found the testing engine easy to use and the question clearly written.
There is no "one book" that can provide everything that you need in order to pass the qualification exam. I feel that Bruno did a good job putting this book together. As long as the reader has the idea that this book is just a tool to aid in learning the material, the reader should be able to get a lot out of it. If the reader is looking for a "one book" solution, this book is not for them.

Summary: Not a good resource for the test
Comment: I am really surprised that this book is even passed off as a resouce to use by Cisco to pass the test. It touches on alot of things but only at a surface level. If you do pass the written it will not be because you read this book. Take my advice and the advice of others: save your money and spend it on the book by Rob Payne et al.
This is somewhat of a shock and disappointment because I used Bruno's CCDA book to prepare for that test and it was an excellent resource.
