I must, before I begin, admit to a certain bias in favour of this book.  It's a
reviewer's dream, since you can flip through it and see the orderly progression
from basic networking concepts, through the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection)
model, via the physical layers, to network protocols, and routing.
 
However, I would think that my appreciation for the book would be echoed by any
number of technical professionals.  Basically, this book is a networking
course.  The overheads/illustrations are on the left side pages.  If that is
enough information, you can flip on to the next point/page.  If any further
explanation is needed, it is on the facing right hand page.  This format allows
both detailed information and a quickly accessible reminder tool.
 
Informative, handy, and readable, too.
