Security+ Book Recommendation

I was wondering what your "book of choice" was for the Security+ exam. I realize there is no one book to cover everything, and multiple books is the way to go. I just finished reading the Exam Cram and a lot of online material.

So anyway, what is your "book of choice"? (Syngress, Sybex, etc.)

Thanks All!

my preference is the sybex 3rd edition and the syngress book both very good books but syngress goes a little more in depth.

I second that, also don't forget to checkout the technotes from this site.

Just in case you based your decision on the DVD that comes with the Syngress book, I wanted to let you know it <cough>sucks<cough>. Either book is great, but the "training" video that comes with the Syngress book is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Good luck on your studies!
