EXCELLENT BOOK!
"EnCE The Official EnCase Certified Examiner Study Guide(2nd Edition)" is not only an excellent study guide for taking the EnCE test, but is a an excellent book for those who, like myself, cannot afford to go to all of the basic and advance classes that Guidance Software offers. In just about every chapter I learned many new features about EnCase that I never realized existed. If you are now using EnCase Version 6 you definitely want this book!

And no, I am not anyway connected to Mr. Bunting, but am looking for the day I can personally meet him and thank him for publishing this learning tool.

Don't buy until the demo software is fixed
The author was not able to preview any of his excercises on the demo version of the software prior to publication. Most exercises simply don't work with the enclosed software. He wrote all of the exercises on licensed versions of EnCase. If you have a licensed version of EnCase, this book is great.

If you are dependent on the demo software do not buy this book until the publisher comes out with a fixed version of the demo software. Be careful on the Wiley web site as there is a fixed version 5 already there for Edition 1 of the book. Make sure that it is version 6, to reflect edition 2.

Other than the demo software, it's a good book. Some of my students complain about the labs being a little hard to follow.
