This might not be the most comprehensive book on the subject, but Gilster's books have never let me down. I passed the A+ exam using his book as well. It was what I needed-no more, no less, which was good because my full-time job and kids keep me busy enough. I passed the test the first time with a 92%. One word of caution: there are a few typographical errors, but the easy reading and good study aids on the CD more than made up for them.
The Only Book I Used. Scored 92%.

Ron Gilster delivers it all, and at the lowest cost out there. In a concise, time-saving manner this book gave me all the material I needed to learn for the test, and I'm not an IT professional (yet). Based on one of Ron's recommendations in the last part of the book, I bought Jeff Thorssell's (Dalidesign.com) practice test software along with a discounted test voucher from Jeff that paid for the software--what a deal! I put the book away after one read-through and one quick review. Then I repeatedly took the "Dummies" software tests and Thorssell's practice tests until I consistently scored well into the 90's. Knew I was ready. Sailed through the test with no anxiety whatsoever. The whole process took three weeks.By the way, a few months ago I also got A+ certified with nothing but Gilster's A+ "Dummies" book and Thorssell's test software (and discounted vouchers). Yes, I got both certs for less than $50 investment. What more can I say except thanks, Ron and Jeff, for superb products!!!
If you're looking for a concise study guide, you've found it

Out of the three Network+ study guides I've purchased, this one is the best. The book is very straight-forward in that it only talks about what you really need to know to pass the test. The author does a good job of reiterating important points. There were some inaccuracies in the practice test, but when I e-mailed the editorial company, they were quick to admit fault and to correct the errors for the next edition. Very good study guide, but I would recommend purchasing a book like Coriolis' Exam Prep for the Network+ which is more comprehensive (as a reference). I passed the Network+ with an %89 and used this book as my primary study guide.
Excellent book for the Network beginner

I really like Ron Gilster's writing style. He brings up a whole lot of stuff at once and gives you the once over, then he teaches it in the coming chapters, and later chapters reiterate the stuff that matters. This book is written in a way that you can skip what your an expert at, skim what you know, and learn what you don't. I like how he breaks things up into short chapters and parts. This book is edited much better than his A+ book, with a lot less errors, but errors are still here. The practice tests still have incorrect answers as well. Good luck with your studies!
