This book is terrible… I simply have to say it.
Oh, it looks good… the layout looks professional and the writing is grammatically correct, but the writer simply confuses the hell out of you. He leaves out critical conceptual connections which you will need for the final CCNA test.
His chapters on VTP and STP, in particular, are just abysmal. He cryptically implies things that you can only figure out through exhaustive inference and, in too, too many cases, he contradicts himself with a horrendously poor choice of logical specifiers in his sentences.
For the chapters on VTP and STP, you’d be better off to consult the Cisco Net Academy lessons or, possibly, an independently-published book on CCNA switching and wireless.
Awful book. Some parts are okay, but they’re the easy parts. When you really need a good CCNA 3 book the most — to explain the most difficult topics such as VTP and STP — it completely poisons your head.
Just awful.

Great book. It has everything you need to take the 3rd course of the CCNA curriculum. It’s always better to have the book for this classes instead of the online material only.

My son needed this book for his CCNA Class. He thinks it is very helpful. He’s getting pretty good grades.

This lab manual is exactly as the other labs from the series.
As the other books it comes with the CD with a couple of exercises per chapter.
It could have more, but it has a minimum.
