Summary: Long-winded, rambling, does not prepare you for A+ exam
Review: This book would be an ideal textbook to use for a computer history course, but I feel sorry for anyone who reads this book and thinks he is ready to pass the A+.This book is unnecessarily wordy. It is 800 pages long but if you remove all the rambling and tangents, you're left with maybe 200 pages of useful, pertinent information. The A+ exam utilizes many "help desk" scenario questions, but this book is entirely too theoretical to enable you to answer practical questions. Additionally, Exam Cram 2's A+ book deals WAY TOO MUCH with computer history. Here's a hint: the A+ exam does not cover the history of computing! On the positive side, this book is an excellent reference piece for general computing knowledge. Additionally, it contains many practice questions and it comes bundled with a CD that contains a Prep Logic practice exam. At $30, this book is a bargain too. Long story short - DO NOT rely solely on this book to help you pass the A+ exam. Instead, check out titles from other publishers, and use this book as a third or fourth source. The practice exams that come included are the saving grace of this book!

Summary: Good book. But doesn't prepare you for the real exam.
Review: This was a good book with little error. But, there are two books that will prepare you much better for the real A+ exams. They are A+ Adaptive exams by Christopher A. Crayton and A+ All in One Certifcation by Mike Meyers.
Don't spen the money on this one...
