in CCNA & CCENT
ICND2 focus on routing part including EIGRP/OSPF. However, I feel the material in CCNA books regarding these two subjects are kinda shallow. Is it a good idea to delve a little on CCNP to boost understanding these two routing protocols? If so, any good CCNP material recommendation?

The CCNA books give you enough information you need to know. Do some labbing and your good to go.
If you really want you could get the CCNP route book, I personally wouldn't though.Lab:

Here is what you need. You need the older ICND2 book from the "Learning CCNA" series by Steve McQuerry. HE will get you better honed in for the basics so you can go to the higher or greater books you seek. You need to hone in your fundamentals and lab and you just dont have the right tome.
