Who is the CCNP equivalent to Todd Lammle? I've been looking for as good a book as Lammle's CCNA book for the CCNP courses, but haven't found it. I did get a really old set of books by Lammle, but they are from when the CCNP exams were 640-503 through 640-506, so they're hopelessly out of date. Not that they don't have good material. Lammle apparently hasn't written any updates for CCNP. Any suggestions? I'm using the Brent D. Stewart guide, which is the Cisco Official Guide right now. Thanks.

This is part of what I intend to do...

If these videos are anything like their CCNA series then they will be awesome! You don't have to buy the complete CCNP set at once either... Can get them per exam.. I haven't researched the CCNP books yet.. Sorry...

Also these guys offer videos too but and they are less expensive but I don't know much about them or anyone who has used them.. Let me know if you find anything...

Hope this helps... I know that it's not exactly what you were looking for but videos seem to be a HUGE help in addition to reading!

Other option is to look at Cisco Press books. I'd suggest sticking with the Self Study books over the Exam Cert books. I also spent a lot of time on Cisco's website reading case studies and other docs for additional information.

I will say this.. I am definitely pleased with the CCNA CiscoPress Exam Cert books and have seen many posts recommending the Self Study! My intention is to stick with CiscoPress and buy the Lammle as a supplement if the update comes out!
