I dont know about the book in question, But I can recomend Mike Meyers all in one compTIA A+ sixth edition
its cheaper and you will find very popular at CF.

PS the book comes with a CD to test you as you go along.

 

I spy our resident author on the credits of that book.

 

This appears to be a boxed set, and includes the popular 'Street Smarts' from our very own Trip!
I can't speak for the other books in the box, but the usual suggestion here is to get the Mike Meyers All-in-one as well as the Street Smarts book.

And those two would be cheaper than this boxed set.

I for one totally agree with Ken. Get yourself a Mike Meyers.

Link is here if you require it - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Certification-All-One-Guide-Sixth/dp/0072263113/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220354176&sr=1-1

 

thanks guys...I really appreciate those advice, I think I buy the wrong book, I will buy Mike Meyer all in one book for my self study in comptia a+.

 

I'm somewhat biased because my book happens to be one of the books contained in the boxed set you reference. One of the things I noticed is that it hadn't been reviewed at Amazon.co.uk but has at Amazon.com:

http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Compl...bs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220367983&sr=1-1

Reviews are there to help buyers decide if a book is worth buying (and I should know...I write enough reviews). That said, I'm somewhat morally bound not to recommend a book set just because I might profit by it. The Mike Meyers book is considered the gold standard of A+ certification books, so you certainly couldn't go wrong.

On the other hand, if you need a good, practical lab book that provides real-world examples of A+ tasks and skills, there *is* a book that provides what the Meyers book lacks...
