Recommended books for BSCI

Time to spend the companies money again

Any recomendations for CCNP books, specifically BSCI would be greatly appreciated. I already have CCNP BSCI Exam Certification Guide (Cisco Press, Clare Gough) and CCNP Self-Study: Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI), Second Edition (Cisco Press).

But you know me, I am Mr. Multiple sources, so any others that are tried and true would be super.

We have published a CCNP BSCI study guide recently. You can download a free sample chapter at here:

Jonny, Cisco pracitcal studies: Routing, is a good book and all based around prcatcial labs for BSCI, I would read your Ciscopress, I have the exam certification guides I never know which is better, but I know that the exam guides expect you to know certain things where as the self studys dont. Boson CCNP also has some good labs in it to follow.
To be honest though I think have enough, I started reading the sybex bsci origionally and it has half the information missing!

Thanks for your input KP and WIld, yea I already pretty much decided to steer clear of Sybex for the rest of my Cisco studies, they are terrific for MS, but Cisco just doesnt seem like there bag.

Ill check out that study guide KP.

I always liked picking up the CCIE level books to supplement the exam study books. In this case Doyle's TCP/IP Vol I and II would help and they come in handy as reference material later.

Is Doyle's TCP/IP Vol 1 still good even if it got published in 1998?
