Summary: The most complete book on Cisco IP Telephony available.
Review: CallManager Fundamentals is a detailed explanation of Cisco's IP Telephony implementation. It is a readable reference book and one that I use often. If I could only have one book on the subject this would be it.

Summary: A Very Well Docemented Book That Is Clear And Easy To Unders
Review: I did the CIPT training course hoping that it would be enough to pass the exam. Although the instructor was excellent, the documentation was not. It did not couther certain topics in detail, and was hard to follow. As I had to pass the exam for myself and so that the company kept its Cisco Partner Status I had to get some good documentation.Although I am only half was through this book I am finding it excellent. It goes into good detail on the information, which you have to know, whilst not sending you to sleep on information, which is not relevant to call manager, networking, or telephony. I am confident that once I have read the book a few times I should be able to pass the exam without too much trouble. Cannot say this about the Cisco training documentation.

Summary: Better than any other CIPT book in the market...
Review: I studied this book for my CIPT exam. Even though this book itself does not suffice to pass the exam, I could not have done without it either. It provides a clear understanding of CallManager and other CIPT components. All the pictures and graphics are well designed. If I have to criticise a couple points, I would say there are a few organization flaws. Titles could have been organized more effectively. Another improvement could be deviding Route Plan chapter. This chapter is very long compare to others.
Overall, I strongly recommend this book for those who want to understand "Fundamentals of CallManager." Also, if you are studying for CIPT, you should consider "Cisco IP Telephony" book along with this.
As far as practice tests concerns, neither books have enough questions for practice. I had to find a third party question bank to study and it helped a lot. "Cisco IP Telephony" book has some practice questions at the end of each chapter, but I can almost gurantee you that they don't help on the actual test.
Good luck to everyone...

Summary: THE Book for CallManager Administrators
Review: If you're a CallManager administrator or if your're just interested in learning more about Cisco's IP telephony server, this book is a must have. The user's guide is fine for setting up the system, but this book does a great job of filling in most of the blanks that couldn't be covered in the manual. For example, the chapter on dial plans (apparently written by the developer himself) is very comprehensive. I liked the numerous illustrations, but especially liked the illuminating background information that explains not just how, but why the system works. Highly recommended.

Summary: Excellent Book!
Review: There is no more authoritative book on the market on Cisco CallManager. This book answered questions for me that I couldn't find anywhere else. In particular, the dial plan chapters unravel the difficulty of complex route plans and helped me to understand each component of the dial plan process. I reach for this book frequently as I administer my CallManager systems!

Summary: Excellent In-depth Information about Cisco CallManager
Review: This book includes signific in-depth information that I have not been able to find in any Cisco documentation. After reading this book I have gained a much stronger understanding of the inner-workings of the software. Understanding the architecture of the software will help anyone who is installing, designing, administering, or troubleshooting a Cisco IP Telephony network. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: A Comprehensive Overview From the Development Team
Review: This book provides a great reference to Cisco CallManager! Written by the development team that actually created the software, it gives accurate and incisive information that isn't always easy to find in the Cisco documentation. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is going to purchase, install, or maintain a CallManager system.
