Very detailed and it has more information than you'll need to pass the a+ exam. It could never hurt to learn more knowledge. I use this book as my study guide and I passed my a+ exam with only a week and a half of studying.

This book is top quality but the chapter selection screen in windows is really bad and hard to use compared to my android device. Its so bad I had a hard time seeing where the chapters beguine opposed to android where everything is nice and clear. There was also some errors in grading my test exams. One question I noticed was the right answer but was marked as wrong. Overall I dont know why anyone would go with any other author if they had a choice.
