The textbook itself was in fine condition, as was the lab book. But the Student CD included in the back of the book had the wrong contents. The cd was labeled correctly, but instead of having information about 70-291 (Server Infrastructure) it had 70-299 (Server Security?) contents. This may not be a big deal for everyone, but I found it's absence disappointing. This is the third book I've purchased in this series and, in the previous two, I made good use of the textbook's PDF version that was included on the Student CD. (I plugged it into my text-to-speech software.) The disc also has Powerpoint slides for each chapter. Not having this convenience isn't the end of the world, but after spending $100+, I expected to get the whole kit and kaboodle!!! Fortuneately, I found a copy of the cd from one of my fellow students who bought an old, beat up, used copy of the book. Hmmmmmmm. Something to consider next time..............
