The book is clearly written and is easy to use as a reference. That said, I have read the book from cover to cover.
The book gives detailed information about settings on Cisco devices such as the 340 and 350 series. Although the wireless field - specifically IEEE 802.11b - is changing rapidly, this book contains information that is great for intermediate to advanced wireless network installers.

"Quitter's Inc." is a one-joke story, but King comes up with a great joke. The company has a shockingly simple way of "persuading" smokers to quit with contingencies for each and every occasion. Dick might think he can outsmart Quitter's Inc., but he does not stand a chance, and that is what makes this story a treat. Because this is a Stephen King story there is an assumption that the motivation because this successful program is obviously fear, but King explicitly points to another emotion, declaring: "Love is the most pernicious drug of all. Let the romantics debate its existence. Pragmatists know it and use it."
An audiotape with a single short story on it seems a bit sparse, but there is a pragmatic reason for this approach. If you want somebody you know who smokes to read this story as a way of inspiring them to quit, you can certainly tied them to chair, but you cannot make them read something they do not want to read. With this audiotape you can make them listen, as long as their hands are tied in such a way that they cannot cover their ears. You could, of course, simply read the story out loud to them yourself, but chances are you are not as good as Erik Roberts. Besides, if you are reading the book you cannot keep an eye on them to make sure they do not struggle free from their bonds.

You'd think I would have known better? I couldn't blame them who wouldn't? cut air with scissors while sewing their needles into invisible cloth for the very low price of..... silk a loom golden thread a full bag of coins Oh those Villain Scoundrels! Now, I know not to buy such vestments with rather large investments Oh what a bratty gnatty I was For I thought I was cool but truly a fool Why emperor you look rather bare, that's quite rare! I was in such a pursuit For only a birthday suit I must admit now Me, My very own self yes indeed, your emperor himself have become a stupid and incompetent dandy All for the Imaginary Image! and now I live happily ever after, no more garb well, that is until the next apparel discovery (Now if you'll excuse me there's a clothier waiting at my door who says he's created the latest design in Pajama attire)
Understand, that this is not the normal audio book; this edtion has a large cast of actors who collaborated to produce this item as a fund raiser for Starbright.
The result is an ensemble piece that is witty and charming. Part of the fun for me, was guessing who was reading before looking at the cast list included in the box.
Other folks feel that this isn't for children; I don't know as I don't have children, but I found that my "inner child" was highly entertained for 40 minutes with this tape.
If you are a fan of one or more of the actors in this edition or like puns (there are many here!), then you will probably like the Starbright edtion of the Emporer's New Clothes.

I have recently graduated from the college I found using this book. I probably never would have made the choices I did or attended the college I did, if it hadn't been for this book. I am completely happy with my college choice, and it has gotten me into Harvard for graduate school.
When I began my college search, I felt overwhelmed by all of my choices. After buying this book, I narrowed my search to only the colleges listed in this book. I figured 306 (a lot less in my day than the 331 of today) colleges provided enough choices, and if a school didn't make the cut for the book, it could be skipped in my search. From that point I began looking at schools that kept popping up in the lists for good things (students happy with financial aid, dorms like palaces, schools run like butter, happy students, etc). I never thought I'd attend a women's college, but after I saw all the wonderful things students had to say about their own women's colleges, I started to visit a few. In the end, I attended the school that first drew my interest in this book.
Again, with this book, you won't need any of the other books out there. This one will be the most valuable resource in your college search.

Twisted plot involving South American magic, South Florida sleaziness, black market human organs, and secret government agenices.
Although I read this book to the end, I can't say I recommend it.
