The "cram books" aren't bad if  you already know the technical stuff
about LPI and need to get the memorization parts in (seriously,
memorizing flags is lame, what's what -? /? or --help are for), but
the test has changed - I believe since your book came out - and it may
not be so helpful anymore.

The older test actually had quite a few inaccuracies in regards to
modern 'nix, limitations that no longer applied or had changed were
the "correct" answers in the test (fine for older versions of RHEL,
but not so correct with newer versions or other distros). Assuming
those have been fixed in the current exam, then the older cram book is
probably going to give you the wrong answer.
