Format:Hardcover
I have to say that this book is just great. I have passed the XP exam and I used this book as my main reference (I have used other books but they weren't as good). The chapters are well organized, clear and useful. It contains lots of practical lab work that are useful both for the exam and the real world. This book also comes with a 15% discount voucher (time limited), a CD which contains exam style questions and videos (plus more useful stuff), and a trial version of Windows XP operating system.
I felt the authors actually knew what they were talking about and provided useful exam tips throughout.

The book is huge with lots of useful information. I will use it as a great reference guide now that the exams have finished.
I strongly recommend this book and I believe it is money well spent.

Format:Hardcover
I would thorougly recommend this book, It is a bit bulky but that is the only downside. The book is well structured, has questions to test you in between the chapters and also includes a 15% discount voucher. If you want to pass your exam I would recommend this book. Forgot to add, in my opinion this book can also be used a an XP guide thanks to its well presented instructions.

Format:Hardcover
This is an easy read, even for complete novices. The book is well structured, with one half dedicated to self training, and the other half to exam preparation. Chapters constantly break the subject matter down into smaller parts, and aim to consolidate what you have learned by regular testing. It also includes a 15% discount exam voucher for the exam, and practice tests on CD ROM. The only disadvantage I can think of is the sheer size of the book.

Good book for a good price
Not really much to say: this a good book, especially for not profesionals as myself. The only missing thing I'd say are exercises: personally I'd like more of them.

Essential but not sufficient
I passed the exam in spite of the book, and not because of it. I purchased it in the hope of filling in gaps of my own knowledge, and that of my existing study materials. Read more

Lifeless & very badly written
In contrast to the other reviewers, I found this the most dull and badly written computer book I have ever read. It can never have been proof-read. Read more

Very useful, but not the whole story
This book is a well presented, well organised guide to the 70-270 exam syllabus. It isn't too basic, it assumes that you have some working experience already, which is the correct... Read more
