I do not know which is harder, preparing for the CCIE lab, or getting past
all of the errors published in Solie's book. How this book ever got through
editing, is beyond me. My suggestion is to use the Solie book as a rough
reference, but by no means, rely on it as a source of information. If you
can recognize the errors and find the correct answers, you are on a good
track. Personally, when I started, I found that book more damaging to my
learning because of the errors. Now I can go through the book to refresh on
some specific points and not be affected by the errors.
Just my two cents. Good luck.
