I'm a big fan of most Cisco Press books. However, they totally ignore feedback and I know of times where folks have pointed out clear errata only to see the book go through several more printings with the same errrors. I read both CCNP libraries and found all but one of the books in them to be anywhere from satisfactory to great. Stay away from the routing book in the Cert Library (as opposed to the Prep Library) - at least until you know the material well enough to spot where the author or the editors didn't know the fundamentals of some of the material (lots of LSAs going the wrong direction, etc).
In any case, I recommend one or both libraries. They can be found reasonably priced at bookpool and several others I have seen metioned here.
