JOY to read.
There are many books on LANs and switching. Most of them are too basic and not well written. "The Switch Book" is a rarity in this crowded field. It covers a lot of different aspects of switching in great detail, yet the book is so well written that it can be read in a week! I read it four times from cover to cover now and every time I learned something new. At our company we require every new application engineer to buy this book. I will love to see Mr. Seiffert write a follow up to this book covering more advanced topics. It is reading good books like this that makes a person feel sane, that one wasn't imagining that the other books were badly written rush jobs. This book joins the list of other excellent books like Stevens' "TCP/IP Illustrated."

One of the top 4 books for low level OSI lurkers
I work in the bottom 3 OSI layers and pretty much refer back to the same 3 books all the time:
1. Ethernet by Charlie Spurgeon
2. TCP/IP Vol 1 by W.Richard Stevens
3. Switched, Fast and Gig Ethernet by Breyer & Riley
These 3 books are tops.
The Switch Book belongs right up there with these three.
