Title: I couldn't put this book down--fast enough.
Product review: If you're hoping against hope to get a quick overview of ATM, look elsewhere. If you can't deal with a technical book, then you really shouldn't be trying to learn about ATM yourself--just hire someone who knows what they're talking about.Perhaps the breezy tone is an acceptable way to explain some topics, but it just does not suit ATM at all. I got so frustrated with the lack of concrete and usable information in this book that I put it away after the first couple of chapters.If you are grown up enough to handle a real book, try the Ginsburg book on ATM from Addison-Wesley; it is way more complete though incredibly dense. Even better for the person in a hurry is Kercheval's book about TCP/IP over ATM, from Prentice-Hall.
