Summary: content free guide to RIP?
Review: Thank goodness for the large font, and wide spacing on this fluffy attempt at presenting a technichal topic: otherwise far more extraneous and useless information would have had to be included in order to make this book big enough to keep from sliding into a fold of flesh in my ponderous belly.
Rating: 
Summary: Great, quick read!
Review: This book provides a concise, albeit comprehensive discussion of RIP-1/2. It offers help with configuration, day-to-day operation and troubleshooting. If you do not have a lot of time but need to understand the fundamentals of RIP-1/2, give this book a read.

Summary: A good book about RIP v1 & v2
Review: When I got this book, I understood what the anonymous reviewer meant by saying this book is overspaced.In comparison to "BGP4, Inter-Domain Routing in the Internet", this book is about 33% wider due to wide margins and a bit higher due to line spacing being a bit larger. As the amount of material is nearly identical (same number of lines, line width, and the RIP book is 20 pages shorter), I wish the books had the same page size. Anyway, I disagree with the reviewer - RIP is a simple protocol, and there's no reason for a book focused on it to be any bigger. This book is excellent for network administrators who are already familiar with the basics of IP and just want a book to study RIP from, without any material about IP, routing, or graph algorithms in general, especially as the book is written by an authority on the subject.
