content: This is a plain language, very detailed book that I would recomend for some one who knows nothing about computers. The hardware section goes into all the detail you need to know for the A+ and then some. All the while it is easy to understand even if you are veging. The software section goes into what you will need to know as well, but you will need to pay a little more attention to what he is writing about if you want to pass. I get the impression this guy really knows what he is talking about. A lot of illustrations.
