[j-nsp] juniper books

[Aviva Garrett]

Joshua,

I should clear up one thing. Since you did not include authors, I think 
I might have misspoke about one of the books. The book we reviewed and
weren't thrilled with was "Juniper Networks Reference Guide," with Tom
Thomas as the lead author.

Thanks,
..Aviva
