Looking for a good general IOS reference book...

Just passed ICND1 yesterday, moving on to ICND2 very shortly. Was looking at the two O'Reilly Cisco IOS books (the cookbook and the nutshell book). Was wondering which folks mostly preferred?

I have and really like the IOS Cookbook myself, but I know that other books in the nutshell series are great (I've used Unix in a Nutshell and Java in a Nutshell). The CCNA Command Quick Reference is also a solid choice. It was a recommended book in the CNA courses and those in my class who had it really liked it.

It's going to come down to personal preference. I don't think one book is head and shoulders above the other.

Yeah, I was thinking that cookbook looked like a pretty good overall reference book. I am borrowing the Quick Reference right now.
