Question Which book?

Hi,
Going to finish on off my MSDST next Friday, so I want get a secuity+ book lined up ready

I have had quite a bit of experince with security issues so I think this certification should not be so hard for me. I started my web hosting services and unfortunatley made a few enemies so my server was under contstant attack. I have installed advanced firewalls, intrusion detection systems and anti-virus software before. I have come under DOS and DDOS attacks to before and dns poisning I also recived a number of prank calls from these people, which the police dealt with

Anyway now I am an IT Tech so security+ isn't as critical to my job as it was before, but I still have the occasional laptop with some malware/adware to remove.

I was considering this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/CompTIA-Secu...5031519&sr=8-1

Is it any good?

Thanks,
Alex
