Sybex CCSP 5 exams in 1 book (1200 pages)

Just saw CCSP Complete Study Guide in a shop for about £60, it's £41.99 on Amazon and anly about 1200 pages covering 5 exams

I know Sybex are reputable, does anyone have any experience with this book?

For a book that covers 5 exams and is thinner than some of the single exam books it seems too good to be true...

Personally I think Sybex are a useful 2nd book, but they seem to miss alot of detail. The set you mention might be cheap as Cisco are phasing out some of the CCSP exams on December 19th.

Yes i agree i also use Sybex when i can as a second book for a second opinion. I use Ciscopress as my first choice; for obvious reasons.

I need to be carefull what I say here, i work with Terry Jack who writes for Sybex

hehe.


Cheers,

For Cisco, I always use Cisco Press, but I usually get Sybex as a second reference. It's always good to have things explained a little differently.
