Exam prep guides are written with the goal of summarizing what you need to know. They are not the course materials, but go beyond in some ways, and may also skip some basic stuff. They can be great for review, but don't work for everyone as the primary source. >found the earlier version of the book written by birkner a better source. This wasn't an earlier version of the same book. It's a different book. This was the course materials ported to book format. The author should be Cisco (course developers) although in this case Birkner didn't exactly follow the script and added his own material and left some out. In general, Cisco Press develops at least two types of books: Certification guides: not written by Cisco, but still often very helpful Course book: training written by Cisco, ported to book format by an editor paid by Cisco Press, usually an excellent resource as the tests are taken from the course. A question came up about the different types of Cisco Press books in a different thread, so I responded here. (My other response never made it?) Anyway, congratulations on passing CID! It's a hard test. Good luck with CCIE. Priscilla >The answers are very close to each other and need to be read carefully, they >can be tricky.
