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 The book is in 97% condition...the information is not out of date...it's One series behind what MIT and the others are using right now.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!
