1: Best single 802.1X book available
There is no question in my mind that this is the best single book on 802.1X available today. The coverage is complete for any wired or wireless network implementation. This book is not only good for CWSP preparation, but it is also great for real-world security implementations. I've read a lot of Jim's books and have come to expect a lot from him. I must say, this book is his best yet.
The book begins with a short 30 page review of network architectures. This review makes for a nice refresher before diving into the 802.1X information. However, unlike many books that attempt to meet a publisher page count by reviewing information the reader should know for 40-50 percent of the book, Implementing 802.1X Security Solutions leaves the refreshers here in the first chapter and spends the remaining 8 chapters and Appendix truly covering the named topic of the book. In all, more than 200 pages are dedicated to the topics related to 802.1X security solutions.
The Appendix coverage of EAP is welcomed and provides enough information to understand its operations and how to select the best EAP solution for your implementation.
I would give this book 10 stars on a 10 star rating system. Most of the books that I give five stars, here at Amazon, would only get 9 stars on a 10 star system. Jim Geier has really outdone himself with this one.

2: Excellent Resource for CWSP Certification!
I've always been a big fan of Jim Geier's books, but this one is the best one he's produced yet. It's excruciatingly detailed (which I think is great), yet provides thorough analogies to help the novice understand the concepts. The organization of the book is excellent. I highly recommend this book to anyone studying for the CWSP certification (www.cwnp.com).
