Cisco Press Provides Complete Suite of CCNA 

Self-Study Products for New Cisco Exam; Resources Meet Networkers'

Demand for Materials Addressing CCNA No. 640-607

Cisco Press announced today the development of the first complete and timely suite of CCNA(R) self-study products available for the new CCNA(R) No. 640-607. This suite was created in conjunction with Cisco Systems(R) to provide a comprehensive preparation track for the new CCNA exam. As the first publisher to provide such resources, the products are the only self-study materials that are approved and recommended by Cisco Systems.

"Cisco Press products have always focused on teaching networking concepts, not on test-taking shortcuts," says John Kane, Cisco Press editor-in-chief. "With the announcement of the exam, Cisco Press presents a comprehensive variety of products to the self-study market that have been created over the past year."

Cisco Press has developed four brand-new products to complete the CCNA suite.

CCNA Practical Studies (1-58720-046-5) This practical lab book features scenarios that networkers can practice on lab equipment, networking simulators, or remote-access labs.

Cisco CCNA Exam No. 640-607 Certification Guide (1-58720-055-4) This revised edition features new user enhancements, extra credit sections, and a new chapter of hands-on lab scenarios.

Cisco CCNA Flash Card Practice Kit (1-58720-048-1) A fully portable training option, this kit contains more than 350 flash cards -- in print, PC, and handheld formats.

CCNA No. 640-607 Preparation Library (1-58705-093-5) Forming a value-priced library, the bundle combines the Internetworking Technologies Handbook, Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices, and CCNA Exam Certification Guide.

Cisco Press continues to offer Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (1-57870-111-2), the official Coursebook essential for networkers beginning their certification. This product has not been updated, as it covers all the same objectives.

Cisco Press products can be purchased at your local bookstore, computer store, online booksellers or www.ciscopress.com.
