Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach, Global Edition

There are many good texts that provide an introduction to computer networking, but this is the one I think is the best. This new edition, with valuable updates and excellent web resources is particularly good.

Unfortunately my copy was damaged on arrival, a dent to the front cover and 200 pages. The paper is poor quality and thin. The book size is too small, with a small typeface and little space at the side of the text for making notes. The layout of the content is very basic , it has a good reference and index. I hope the 9th edition can improve over this, the 8th edition. Other computer books by Pearson Publishing are larger, better paper, decent font size and layout of material. A consistent good quality of style is need for the Pearson Computing books. Not good enough for a £60 book.

Good content but there are multiple blank pages after every image in this version of the book on kindle. It’s very annoying especially considering this book is not cheap.

This product is a low quality scan of the physical book, not a proper Kindle ebook.

The content is great, but the pages are so thin! Its hard to read a page when you can see the text on the page right behind it!

Good price

El libro de Kurose es una fantástica guia del mundo de las redes, que define a un nivel de detalle casi enfermizo sus aspectos hardware y software. Nos han pedido su lectura completa para una ingeniería informática, y realmente no me extraña, sus contenidos son excepcionales. En ese sentido, el contenido (texto en inglés) es de diez.Sin embargo tengo un serio problema con esta edición impresa, las hojas que son algo satinadas al tacto, dependiendo de las condiciones lumínicas hacen un reflejo MUY molesto. No es un reflejo que de el papel más convencional, que absorbe la luz. Es absolutamente horrible para un lectura detallada de un rato largo. Envio una foto donde se ve como el papel devuelve parte de la luz del flash de mi móvil, algo que ningún libro debería de hacer, porque esa sensación de que las letras "se iluminan", es nefasta para largas lecturas, y hay que estar cuidando el ángulo de la lámpara flexo en caso que uséis una, porque según la incidencia de la luz apenas os dejará leer.

Das Buch ist vorlesungsbegleitend im Rahmen eines Informatik Studium. Achtung ENGLISCH. Immer auf die aktuellste Version achten.

The pages in the global print edition are literally transparent. I am not joking. When reading a page, you can not only see the back side, but also the following page. You always see *three* sides of text overlaid together, which makes the book near impossible to read.Take a look at the picture I attached. No joke, you can see three pages of text at the same time.I'm not sure if it's Pearson (who, by the way, is apparently introducing NFT textbooks--make of this what you will), or the international publisher in Malaysia, but it's clear they are penny pinching by making the pages as thin as toilet paper.Avoid at all costs. Maybe avoid Pearson as well.
