Errors! 
Chapter 8 is a review of the basics of the bash shell. Here's a good example of how bad this book is because of all the errors. It says on page 173 "Processes are covered in great detail in Chapter 6. . . ". Chapter 6 in this book is about the vi editor, not processes, but Chapter 6 in the Exam Cram LPI 101 book is all about processes. They are just copying and pasting out of another book at this point, and they obviously aren't proof reading it. There are TONS of errors in this book. This is the worst Exam Cram book of all time!.
Terrible!
I was going to be nice and give it 2 stars, until I read this on page 122 about vi --> "Who wants to work with such an application when word processors such as Microsoft Word exist?" Are you kidding me? Has the author ever even worked with Linux before? I've read over 20 Exam Cram/Prep books before and this is easily the worst one. This book is filled with errors. Go buy O'Reilly's LPI in a Nutshell. It covers both exams in one book and is much much better than this.
Full of Errors and Typos
Your better off with O'Reilly's LPI in a Nutshell. The title explains it all. The O'Reilly book covers both the 101 and 102 exams. The Exam Cram LPI 101 book was okay, but the 102 book is terrible.
