Really it's worth to buy

Really I am looking for networking book gives all the detail of networking concept and easy to understand and I find this book is excllent.

One of the best network books for beginners

Just in two words: it is the best such book on the market now. If you are a student or a trainer - buy it. For a student - everything is explained in very popular and understandable manner. For a trainer - it shows how to talk about networks.

An Unpretentious Primer

Unlike most of the tomes on networking, this comprehensive survey does a good job of informing the reader in a natural, easy-to-read manner. Anderson seems to know her stuff and balances tech-talk with pragmatism. Recommended for the uninitiated Admin-type as a study or reference work on most LAN technologies.

The Network Textbook

Finally! A comprehensive, and very readable guide to networks. For the novice or the accomplished network manager, this book is a must. What most appeals is the direct, no-nonsense writing style. No mumbo-jumbo geek-slang. Just a clear, concise and exceptionally well researched compendium containing every facet of network operation and management. An excellent feature is the excercise at the end of each chapter. This enables the student to test retention of the information. As a CIO, I have found this book to be invaluable in the preparation of briefings and proposals. This is a must for every IT professionals bookshelf.
