I bough this book in May of 2013 and kept putting off my 70-687 exam. Being studying for it now an this book is not accurate with the new Windows 8.1 exams. DO NOT USE IT TO STUDY. 8.1 changed a lot of features from Win 8.

I found the book to be not written that great. The Win 8.1 book is better written.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Focus on Exam Objectives

I'm finding this book a good resource for focusing on exam objectives and finding further information. The typos don't really bother me so much..in fact I haven't noticed it to the point that I cared. But what worries me is that I found a confusing answer to one of the test your knowledge questions in the book (location 1124). It states that DISM can't be used to create a new image but everything I read on Microsoft's technet states DISM is used to capture a new .wim file ie: dism /capture-image. And in fact the books correct answer is ImageX but this tool is deprecated in Windows 8. So it seems like a mistake in the book and makes me wonder about the content. However, since it's the only questionable information I've found so far, it's not enough to make me give it a low star count. Anyway, it's too late for me to get an answer on the topic since I'm taking the test tomorrow. Maybe if I'm not too embarrassed, I'll update with how I did on the test. :)
Ok, I passed! I think this book helped, I used in conjunction with technet and measureup.

I purchased this two weeks ago in paperback and on Kindle for my Surface, along with the 70-687 Lab manual. Great read so far and they have really been helpful. Found a couple things already that weren't covered in previous exam guide materials I have purchased.

2.0 out of 5 stars a lot of errors

I found enormous errors in material and think you need to go deeper, than read this book if want to pass exam.
There are some helpful terms but after reading every chapter you will have different questions that authors walk around.

p.s. I don't know about paper version but kindle edition has mistakes one or two word in every third paragraph. Try sample, you'll find they.
It's terrible
