I just checked the exam blueprints for SNPA and SNRS (old and new) and the Cisco Press web site -- and while the CCVP is finally getting the suggested books for the exams -- the CCSP seems to be losing them Some of the VPN topics that were in CSVPN are shifting to the other exams -- but for something like the SNRS exam it hard to tell if the "old" Exam Certification Guide is still useful unless you already have it (or the table of contents) and compare it to the blueprint exam topics. Unless you have access to the latest Partner eLearning or the Official Courseware, you're probably going to have to "over study" and grab the old books and pick out the important stuff using the exam blueprint -- and fill in the rest with the Cisco Documentation and White Papers. The good news is that Cisco Press has those CCSP Reference Sheets available in PDF format. Hopefully they can get those updated faster than new books and at least give you an overview for the most important topics to study. There are lots of good Cisco Press Firewall books, but they seem to have dropped the SNPA exam off the CCSP page for now and don't even have any of the old suggested reading listed on the complete CCSP book page. Sounds like the exam changes are also confusing Cisco Press.
