Useful book, but too many errors
Numerous typographical and logical errors make it a very annoying occupation to read it and, especially, to use it to study for the Exam. As of now (second edition, hardcover), the book is in a pretty bad shape. Questions and answers of the review sections and mock-up exams are often poorly worded and sometimes flat-out wrong.

Despite of its serious drawbacks, the book can be used productively (it helped me considerably to pass the Exam) since, in my view, it gives the reader an indication of the depth and breadth to which the exam will probe his/her knowledge. However, to benefit from the book in this way, the reader needs to be already familiar with the subject.

errors and misprints
It's only good to get an impression of the scope of the exam. This is a pretty bad book with huge amount of errors and misprints.

A great book
As usual the Sybex authors were pretty clear and concise, but I do recommend purchasing some sample exam software to help focus your study. This is the only book I studied before sitting and passing the exam.
