Having been an instrucotr for over 4 years and having taught enough computer repair classes I have found that certain books are better suited for the class than others. This is one book made for the classroom.
What Scott Mueller has done with his already successful book is break it down into a 12 week class. I am not sure how many hours he is spending per week. Some of the chapters are only a few pages long. But with this breakdown you can now set a learning pace based on your needs.
The book covers all major parts of the computer and the associated hardware. Based on the information contained within the book you could use this text to study for the A+ Exam.
One thing I found really usefull in pacing out the material was the student workbook included in the book as well as on the cdrom.
Something new added on the cd is 2 hours of video, which I found informative as well as fairly easy to watch. They cd is supposed to have 6 previous editions of the text included, however I unable to find it, either through the menu or by a manual search of the cd.
Overall, this is another successful venture for Scott. You might be hard pressed to find another book like it on the market today.
