Jonathan,

I love the book. I think I will end up getting more out of it than the CCIE practical studies. There are 6 labs, 3 based on a single 3550/8 router topology, and 3 based on a double 3550/8 router topology. After each lab there is an 'ask the proctor' section intended to give clues, which i love, and then an extensive debrief.

it also seems very much like the real thing to me (i have made 2 attempts), and it is even co-written by maurilio de paula gorito, who was my proctor in san jose my first attempt. so the guy knows what you need to know in order to pass.
