REVIEW
Bad book. I too had to buy this book because the course I'm taking requires it. I agree that it is full of redundancy, type-o's. The chapter markers on the pages aren't even correct on the side of the book. After completing the course and book, I started taking some A+ practice tests online, and found that this book doesn't go into depth on some of the subjects covered in the exam. I am normally not a book burner, but might consider it when it comes to this piece of crud. Rip off for $80. Buy A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Sixth Edition by Michael Myers instead. I checked it out from the library and found it is a superior book. He's actually somewhat entertaining as well.
