OK all, rather than just search within the CP website, I googled this whole
"rough cuts" thing. Here's what I found on Safari:
"Get Behind the Scenes to Stay Ahead of the Curve
Rough Cuts is a Safari Books Online interactive publishing service that
provides you with first access to pre-published manuscripts on cutting-edge
technology topics - enabling you to stay on the cutting-edge and remain
competitive. When you participate in the Rough Cuts program, you also own an
important role in helping to develop manuscripts into best-selling books.
Here's how it works:
1. Select a Rough Cuts title.
2. Get access through a Safari Library
<http://safari.ciscopress.com/library> account. Or if you would like, you
can order a single Rough Cuts title as well.
3. Sign up to receive Alerts by visiting the Rough Cuts catalog page.
4. Read updated versions online or in PDF at your convenience.
5. Interact with the Rough Cuts community. Post your feedback or
respond to comments from other users, editors, and authors.
6. Access the final version - online access and PDF access of the
printed version is available for up to 45 days.
To learn more, read the complete Rough Cuts FAQ
<http://safari.ciscopress.com/help#Rough%20Cuts> ."
Thanks but no, I'm a little busy for all that, interesting as though it may
seem.

Subject: Yet Another CCIE Security Book Released
Hey all,
I was looking at the CP website today and I see they have a new security
book out in the CCIE series entitled "Network Security Technologies and
Solutions." It claims to have "Full coverage of the latest CCIE Security
exam objectives." But it has "Rough Cuts" stamped on the front cover (as
does a new book in the CCNA series). Anybody know what this means, exactly?
I'm not paying $80 for a rough draft!
Cheers all,
Scott
