This one: Cisco CCNA Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide, 5th Ed (T.Lammle)(2005) Sybex

The books that I use are: CCNA INTRO Exam Certification Guide 640-821 CCNA ICND Exam Certification Guide 640-811

Writted by Wendell Odom, CCIE

The Sybex book is considered a good resource and tends to read easier than the Cisco Press (the ones I am using) read. Follow the exam objectives and do the questions, labs and examples until you're very confident on the material and you should be good to go.

I used it and found it mostly good, but with a lot of errors. The errors are frustrating, but they are actually helpful if you can pick them out. This means that you understand the concepts as opposed to memorizing them. The book does not have anything on natting either, which is on the exam. I used this along with the Cisco Press Flash card book. I would suggest having more than one book.

if he wrote the concepts wrong then it means you spent a LONG time googling and reading other books.

if you're talking little errors in question and answers then that's a diff matter.

if there are conceptual erros ten it's a good diea to post them here so they're archived

I'm talking about errors in questions and answers. Sybex has most of them outlined on their website, but not all. It means I've been doing this for eight years and FINALLY got around to studying for and taking the test. I found the studying part helpful as I did learn a lot and 'discovered' some of the theory behind what I have been working with for years.

I have always had good luck with Sybex books.
