Sybex did a good job for me. Compliment that with the Technotes here and you're golden

+1 on technotes, so I wasnt quite as cold turkey as stated earlier, maybe luke-warm turkey

Well i am studying for the exam as we speak but i had a hard time understanding the sybex book. my thoughts are that it is intended for person who are already in the networking field as it jumps into certain topics head on without explaining certain things in more detailes.
for me i would recommended the Que Publishers Exam Prep 2 as its a really good books everything is simply put. and simplicity works for me just fine. Try to get your hands on a CISCO books also as it helps your understanding of the various networking devices.

GOOD LUCK

I used Sybex and passed it on my first try. The technotes here are huge though....a good review for the couple of days heading to the test.

I was another one who used Sybex.... of course, at the time I had bee working in IT for 6 years and had taken a 4 semester CCNA course back in high school. So the networking concepts covered in the Network+ were not that new to me.
