The Poulton and Darril Gibson (685/686) books are both excellent - and if you correct the MS Press book it is also serviceable. But the first 2 books are the better choices...

I second this.

I liked Gibsons Security book, but that book is for 685 and 686...should I get that, will it prepare me for all 3 exams?

Darril's book will help with the 680, but you should get a book that deals primarily with the 680. Poulton's is good. I found the MS press 685 and 686 books fairly well written. It's always a good idea to use multiple books for exams.

Hey. That's great that you broke down the importance into percentages. And now I'm even more glad that I purchased the only copy of Don Poulton's book in all of Raleigh. I know I could have purchased it online but I wanted it then.
Thanks again!

That's for the recommendations. It almost looks like the 685/6 has information the 680, how weird.
