This should be the only book you'll ever need for the Security+ exam. I studied it for 10 days after failing the exam the first time and I passed with a very good score.

Gibson's book is what most here will recommend. The videos may be overkill, but everyone is different so they may work for you.
Do not get Exam Cram! It is terrible. Riddled with contradictions, errors, incomplete/runoff sentances, etc. Not to mention many of the questions are not indicative of the real exam.
I just took and passed the Security+ exam today with a score of 852 so I can vouch that the material and practice tests in David L. Prowse' Cert Guide (ISBN 978-0-7897-4713-6) and Darril Gibson's Get Certified Get Ahead (ISBN 978-1-4392-3636-9) are extremely accurate and indicative of the real exam. I loved that Darril's book was large print and both books were great, but in my opinion David's Cert Guide went a little bit more in detail on some things. Bottom line....I strongly discourage the use of Exam Cram and strongly promote the use of David and Darril's Security+ material.
CompTIA Security+ Study Guide-> fourth edition and Deluxe edition by Emmett Dulaney.
and the
CompTIA Security+ Certification Study Guide-> thid edition by by Ido Dubrawsky
Each book had its own strength and some book covered a few topics which the others left out
so my advice would be to get more than 1 book - That should help

LOL, Darril probably love TE for our great devotion to his Security+ book.
