That book is good. I bought it a while back not because I was taking CCIE
back then, but because I needed something to reference during production
network operations..

The book is not like Halabi or other conceptual explanation type of book.
It is more like cisco.com/univercd, then you go to the index of all commands
listed, except it has more explanation than the DocCD.
