I guess not everyone can be pleased. :-)

Still waiting for the book, but I think if you feel there is additional
stuffs in there that is not necessary, just take them out. Don't bother with
them. On the other hand, if you feel that there is some topics that should
be in there and is NOT, please let us know !! 8 routers is too many but not
unreasonable, considering that it's probably close to what you will
encounter.. refer to the ASET labs..Personally I would prefer the CCIE lab
scale down to 2 routers...
