The R&S Written blueprint matched up pretty with the old CCNP exams, so if you took the old CCNP exams (BSCI, BCMSN, ONT, ISCW) and went above and beyond the minimum requirements (like reading Doyle's Routing TCP/IP and all the suggested links in the books) then the Certification Guide should just be mostly review.

Check all the chapters and take each "Do I Know This Already?" Quiz to get a better idea of the topics where you may need additional study. If you do well on the quiz for a chapter, then you can consider skipping it (but think about that $300 or $350 exam fee and decide if maybe it is worth reading, or at least paging through, as insurance

I think CCIE R&S from Odom is pretty good. A lot of the stuff about routing protocols isn't new from a NP standpoint. But there are a few things that are delved into deeper. Like BGP Regex, QOS, Multicast and ZBFW, and MPLS VPN.

Additional reading I like Internet Routing Architectures and MPLS and VPN Architectures.

For me though, I find it much easier to read the config docs on Cisco for the related subjects.
