This book is organized by county, but it contains no map indicating counties. The index has serious omissions, rendering it almost useless. I wanted to know what was outside South Bend, but South Bend is not in the index. Neither is Gary, for that matter. Don't tell me it's because they're not "off the beaten path;" they are covered in the book. Counties are listed in the index, but of what use is that unless you know what county you're going to be traveling through? This book could be useful to someone with a good map who already knows where he is, but it does little to orient a newcomer or differentiate between one area and another. I have to cross Indiana this summer, and I'd like to take an interesting route, but I can't find one using this book unless I read nearly every page. This book needs itineraries near the major highways, a map indicating counties, and an entirely new index. To its credit, this book contains much information. Better referencing tools would help the reader find it.

A very disappointing book. This books seems to be a careless transcription of a similar Netware 4.x book. The book contains many technical errors (mainly things that relate to Netware 4 but are different in Netware 5) and is highly incomplete regarding new Netware 5 features (for example there is hardly any explanation on how to use SLP and directory agents in a pure-IP envirnment). A lot of space is also wasted on explaining networking fundementals (not related to NetWare), especailly since INETCFG, the tool to manage protocols and interfaces, is not explained at all. So what is the use of this long general lecture on networking if you don't explain on how to take benefit from that information in NetWare ?

All in all, I would not recommend this book to anyone. There must surely be much better books on NetWare 5.
