What is the go-to book for this exam?

Souljacker

I've completed CCNA and now want to pursue the security track. Any nudges in the right direction would be appreciated.

I've got the Official Cert Guide by Keith Barker and Scott Morris. ISBN 1-58720-446-0.

It's got good reviews, but I find it a little dry.

Master Of Puppets

I liked the ocg but I supplemented it with cbt. Found it a nice and useful combination.

Any other books out there? The amount of tables and bullet points are driving me nuts. I was hoping Todd made a CCNA Security book but i don't see anything.

I was wondering about this:

Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security (IINS 640-554) Foundation Learning Guide (2nd Edition) (Foundation Learning Guides): Catherine Paquet: 9781587142727: Amazon.com: Books

I'm also curious about the FLG (listed above). I've already ordered the OCG, but I see that several mention supplementing OCG with videos.
