The spiral version as it’s a LOT easier to manage on the bus commute, where I’ve done most of my studying for the exam. I’ve supplemented practice with an iPad app that quizzes me on a random selection of 35 questions. After a few runs of the app, I’ve identified areas where I need to bone up and have done so with the book. Although this edition of the book is for the question bank that begins July 1st, the basic principles have not changed materially from the soon-to-expire exam. I’m pretty confident I’m going to pass the exam on Monday without a problem. On that metric — helping me with the test — this book is fine.

I am less enthusiastic about over-presentation of material that distracts from clarity of understanding. For example, in the front of the book (1-2, repeated half-size on 3-7) is a Frequency Allocation Chart (also available on their web site) with a diagram of the bands, frequencies and modes. Because it’s the generic diagram, it includes a lot of superfluous information such as the restrictions for Novice and Advanced licenses — both deprecated in 2000, as well as changes enacted a couple of years ago. As a result, the chart is dense and less useful than it could be in this setting. It would have been super helpful if they included ONLY the information pertinent to General privileges. With the extra room, they could add supplemental information relevant to several of the questions on the exam: power restrictions, sideband use, and relative position of data vs voice.

Excellent technical book to use when studying for the General or as a good resource book to have on the shelf. I find this book provides information above and beyond what you might need to know for the test so this is a text book for the serious student that wants to do more than just pass the test. I do use the Gordon West book to condense studying for specific exams so it is a good companion book.
