I am the author of the CCIE Security book being resold by NLI. I followed the blueprint exactly with the exception of moving some of the chapters around. It didn't make sense for Chapter 1 to start with Security Protocols when I haven't covered the basics yet. The blueprint doesn't make any logical sense in terms of an order of what to study first. The only chapter that is probably light is the "General Networking" chapter which covers networking basics, routing protocols, routed protocols, ISDN, etc. Those topics have had entire books written about them and I don't think it would make sense to go in to any great explanation about them. Basically, what I'm saying is that some people may complain there's not a configuration example for BGP Confederations. Well, my answer to that is please read the Halabi book. He wrote nearly 500 pages on the subject of BGP. There is a lot of assumed knowledge since this is an 'Expert level' book.
The reason the book is $200 is because we are going to offer free updates except for shipping and a small handling fee (this fee covers our cost to print the boot itself). I don't want to see people pay for version 1 and then expect them to pay for an updated version a couple months later. If people have general questions they can be posted here and I will answer them. If you think the answer would benefit the entire group please post it here. Otherwise, email me offline. The beta version was shipped to 5 people this afternoon. Within 2 weeks I expect to be done with version 1. It will be sent to the printers at that time and it should ship a few days after that. John Kaberna CCIE #7146 NETCG Inc.
