I like Bruce's book - coverage of a very broad range of technologies. If your only goal is to pass a test then this book may be all you really need. If, however, yopu desire to learn how things work, then you will need to supplement it. I suggest using Kennedy Clark's CCIE Switching book and of course Jeff Doyle's Routing TCP/IP. I also suggest the Cisco Press BCRAN book for WAN technologies, Lou Rossi's whitepaper on Token Ring (Clark's book covers TR pretty well but I like Rossi's paper), and CCO for various whitepapers on the different frame formats and standards (802.x stuff).
