I received a courtesy copy from the publisher and I think it is quite good.
Well worth the $47.99. The book starts out going over a topic (let's say
BGP). Then a lab is given to perform on BGP. Next the book give you
detailed instructions on how to complete the lab and why you need to perform
various command, and finally a copy of the configurations of the completed
labs.

The biggest negative I have with the book is the labs require too much
equipment. You should be able to perform most tasks with three or four
routers, but every lab requires a full rack of equipment. I would have
preferred to see most labs with less equipment then maybe one or two
comprehensive labs that use a full rack.

If you are going to purchase the book from amazon.com, click on this link:
