Hey Shai,
You are absolutely correct, there are not a lot of books out here
covering everything for the v3.0 lab, however ever topic on the
blueprint is covered in one of the SRNDs, Configuration Guides, or
Design Guides.
You can start with the 7.x SRND at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/srnd/7x/uc7_0.html.
The SRND for Unity Connection you can find here,
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/7x/design/guide/7xcucdg.html. Here is the Configuration and Maintenance Guide for Cisco Unified Presence, http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cups/7_0/english/config_maintenance/administration/guide/cupconfig.html. All of the topics on the blueprint you will find some supporting documentation via either the SRNDs (www.cisco.com/go/srnd) or through what used to be the DocCD but now the Product Support page (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/index.html). I am just now starting out on this journey as well, so I by no means have all the answers, but these are the documents that I am either reading or have downloaded to
read.
HTH,

Hi again,
I have received a few emails answering my questions and I also asked
IPexpert sales department and there is no plan to issue any Written Exam
material for the voice CCIE (or any other track I think).
Vik Malhi and/or Mark Snow - any chance you could put your 2 cents here and
tell me exactly which books I should read?
- if I go through the new blueprint it has a lot of new material and I am
having difficulty finding books that correlate to that knowledge expected of
me (https://cisco.hosted.jivesoftware.com/docs/DOC-3569).
Again - thanks for everyone,
Shai L.

Subject: A few requests from a beginner...
Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone can assist me with a few issues I have -
I am about to start my voice studies in about a month time (or a bit more) -
but because I have no knowledge at all on this direction I am having trouble
starting (not sure from where to start).
I should specify here that I am almost CCIE SP - but never studied voice
related material before.
So - I think I should start with CCNA Voice , go through the CCVP
certification and then start reading books related to voice, and hence my
problem -
1. Is there any organized study guide I can use to build my knowledge
from CCVP to CCIE - for the Voice Written Exam , and if not will IPexpert
consider creating such "Boot Camp" or "study guide" or anything else related
(especially with the new v3.0 announced and "IPexpert University" to begin
during 2009) ?
2. Can anyone provide a detailed list of books required to be read for
both the CCIE Written and CCIE Lab exam - knowledge wise ?
- I already have the Voice BLS and it should be more than enough, especially
after they will update it, to do the Voice Lab, but not for someone who
needs to study for the Voice Written Exam.
3. Another thing that came to mind - would anyone here recommend not
doing the CCNA Voice and the CCVP track, and start directly with CCIE level
Voice related books - because my ultimate goal is the CCIE Voice ?
Any thoughts or answers from anyone would be helpful.
Thanks everyone
Shai L.
