    This hardback book is of the highest quality, has a fine appearance , arrived in perfect condition, and is an excellent value. On what I was not asked about this time, communicating with the seller would have required using email outside of the eBay system, because they do not accept eBay messages, the book was well packed in a purpose-designed cardboard box, the shipping was faster than I expected for the bound media rate, and the book was exactly as described and pictured.

  • Only one series behind the major colleges....

    Same book. Same monster of a book. Same 1,600+ pages of hard copy goodness. For computer techs, IT pros, and computer science majors...or anyone wanting a DEEP knowledge of how computers work, variations of hardware, compatability, logic, design, implementation of servers and small scale to enterprise level networks. Amazing deal. The book is in 97% condition...the information is not out of date...it's One series behind what MIT and the others are using right now. I saved around $50 by buying this edition. I don't regret anything except that I should have bought it sooner!

  • Big difference over my last edition

    Scott Muller's book "Upgrading and Repairing PCs" has long been the bible of PC repair. The 21st edition, second to last, is enough of the difference that I require over my last edition..

  • Inexhaustible Source

    I was trying to understand dual channel memory as well as address buses. This manual had the best explanation I have seen as well as the appearance of being an inexhaustible source regarding computer maintenance, etc. Shipping was fast including the CD.
