If anyone is considering to obtain the Comptia A+ Certification over the holidays etc this is a highly recommended hardcover book I found that may help you (cheaper than eBay, fishpond and bookdepository - they are $55-70+). I've been searching high and low for something in-depth to help add to my knowledge of PCs and as I am reading through this the way Mike Meyers explains and uses his awesome analogies really helped me to visualize and understand more about the pc world and how it came to be.
I have done the free online Prof Messers and some CBT nuggets videos but for a deeper understanding and link to how PCs work, I really highly recommended this book for all tech levels as this can even be a source book to refer back to.
For those that don't know, there is a newer Comptia 220-801 and 220-802 exams but this 220-701 and 220-702 exams will still be available through to 31 August 2013 (you can currently choose to do either ones).
