| Ciscopress used to be the general consensus, I haven't heard of anything changing. | |

| I have always advocated Cisco Press as the old timers (like Mat) here will remember.

| Yes, definitely Cisco Press.
Lammale is good as an introduction at CCNA level before moving onto CP books but at the NP level his books are not so good. | |

| Right !!
I swear on both cisco press and lammle. As it had been said Sybex for introduction and cisco press for prepair.
Sybex is great because of it`s chapter reviews and labs. It`s also easy to read and a good way to get a complete survey. After you read Sybex turn to cisco press and study into deep. If you have finish this both I can reccomand the "crash-test" series from marks and technicks. This books cover all points for the exam in short overview.So you can easily find which chapters you should work trough again. Anyway there are also other books as crash test on the market. Important is just to not use a "braindump" or "skills beeing measured" book, they are more worst than they help you because in the most case they give you wrong information, cut information you really need in practise and are just made to earn money and to put a customer through an exam with a 100% rate. So they are --> complete nonsense (anyway thats another topic I don`t want to discuss here).
I think der aren`t sybex available for the new exams at this time. Beware of buying the right cisco press books !!! They cover ther new added topics like IS-IS and so on.
Hope I could help
Sorry for my bad english
Correct me if I`m wrong |
