Are you refereing to the Cisco Press ones?
If you are then my recommendation is get the Prep Libaries as these can be used post exam for reference materials during work...the Certification Libaries are aimed at the Certification tracks and only contain pertenant bits to the Certs not the real world ..
That's my advice take it or leave it..up to you.

I've read reviews...
It seems that the Certification Guide has a lot of errors, and the Preparation Guide is extremely broad. I feel like going into the Preparation but i don't have the time to spend. I'm stuck man, i'm just waiting for more replies and see what most people think.

I echo what Yeti says.... The prep book is really good if you have your own routers to configure with lots of meaty things to configure. Outputs are also shown to see if you are on the right track, which is nice. The exam cert books are more into the theory. I could not make up my mind, so I bought both!!!
Cheers,
Wavy
