Not up to the usual standards
I bought this book a while ago but have only just found the time to sit down and study it with a view to passing my MCP exam. Although the book is well structured it contains so many errors and misses important features of SQL 2000 that you will be tested on in the exam. For example, the book does not cover DTS in any real detail and doesnt even mention replication. These are serious omissions.

Great book & 2 CD package
Excellent book, and includes 120 day trial version of SQL Server 2000, a cd containing simulated electronic tests similiar to actual microsoft exams.

Well worth the money.

Nice one Microsoft Press.
