I personally have found the information on the website/cdrom to be very complete. The case studies proved invaluable while I was learning various things. The BGP case study is incredible -- if you read it after reading a theoretical text on BGP then you'll be set for configuring networks with a small number of borders. There's a draft somewhere too that talks about common bgp configurations. Granted it probably takes several hours of using the manuals before you get a feel for how they're laid out and where to go for things. That layout changes between 11.0 and 11.1 which can be annoying. But it's very complete. I've only ever dealt with ip, atalk and bridging however, maybe the experience in the other protocols is different. Do you honestly believe that a book with "nutshell" in the title is going to be more definitive than the CDROM documentation? It would weight twenty pounds. And also on this nutshell thread -- I think that people may be wishing for "IOS IP configuration in a nutshell". There's no way a single book could do justice to all the protocols IOS deals with.
