Book is outdated but the main ideas are still the same as well as all of the commands, you can learn Linux off of this book.

Even though it was a used book, the quality was good. It was almost like new. The delivery was slightly below our expectation.

Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification, Second Edition

Bought this book for a required text for a college class.
The book is a bit out of date (but then who can print up to date Linux books?) and I am using Ubuntu 8.10 for a companion distro instead of the CD's that came with the book. I will keep this book for reference rather than resell it.

Overall a bit pricey, but good solid foudational text for beginning Linux.

This book falls apart..

Handle this book with care, I bought it brand new and one crease turned into a nightmare and soon every single page became unglued and it was a mess, I couldnt even resell it. It was a decent layout and preety ok introduction to Linux.

Useless!

I bought this book to study for the certification exam and now have to get rid of it after one chapter and find another. This is not my first certification exam and not my first experience with a certification book. I was shocked when I saw that the book had no answers to any of the questions in it, not one! The answers are only available to instructors. What? So the book is really not much use if you aren't taking a class and have an instructor to correct your mistakes. I'd like to ask the authors who decided not to put the answers as every other certification book I've ever used, are certification exams usually taken by ten year olds who don't have enough self control to not look on the answers until after completing the questions? If you just want a book to learn Linux then it might very well be a fine book but to study for and pass the certification exam it's a fat zero unless you like combing through chapters to find the answers to end of chapter questions.
