Product Release Announcement:
In November it came to our attention that some problems have occurred during the production and printing process of CCNA ICND2 640-816 Official Certification Guide, Third Edition and CCENT/CCNA 640-822 ICND1 Official Cert Guide, Third Edition. Please be assured that the content is up to Wendell Odom's usual exceptional standards; the problems were rather with numbering of questions and examples and were introduced during the production and printing process. There was a delay in the products' availability as we reviewed and reprinted the affected titles. As of December 1, corrected products are available at retailers and through Cisco Press and Pearson sites. Please visit ciscopress.com/ccnaupdate for more information and to learn whether you have a product that was affected.
