Old "Good" study book vs. New "Bad" stud

in Security+
Hey everyone, 1st poster here.
I am thinking of taking the Security+ exam. I have my A+ and MCSE (2000), as well as CCNA. I want this cert to help pad my resume as well as count toward my MCSE:Security specialization.
Now, I have been looking at books to use. I've seen some older books (2002, 2003) and some newer books (2004).
The 2004 books are newer of course, and possible contain newer technology in them in regards to security. However, all of the newer books aren't as recommended as the older books.
Now the older books are from 2002 and 2003 (like the AllInOne book). That's 2 - 3 years old, a lot can change in IT in that time.
Are those older books still worth buying over the newer books in regards to passing the current Security+ TEST?
And if they're still worth passing today's exam, which Sec+ study good would you recommend...? All-In-One perhaps? I'd like a book that explains things in decent detail, and doesn't leave you guessing.
Many thanks for your help,
Michael

Hope these help!
As stated - use multiple sources.

Was thinking of getting two books, one being the "EXAMCRAM" book to read after I read my main book. Maybe this Tcat book then the EXAMCRAM....
Any other way to get this ALPHAGEEK's study guide?
Thanks a bunch,
Michael
