Security + Exam

[Bostonb]

Hi,
I'm looking to purchase a book(s) to study for my Security + cert. I currently have 2 in mind, (Security+ Exam Guide (Testtaker's Guide Series) by Christopher A. Crayton)
And
Security+ Study Guide and DVD Training System Robert J. Shimonski, et al.
Can anyone give me any advise on which books were helpfull? I read all the reviews, but I'd rather get some opinions from someone who read these and passed their Security + exam.
Also, what's the difference between Security + and Comptia?
Thanks

The Shimonski book has been getting good feedback. I would recommend it. Also...

Home of the Security+ PDF the Net is talking about!

I've downloaded and read the free pdf. It is excellent. What is the diffeence between the freebie and the one that costs $20.00?

The final version of the Security+ PDF

Packed with 700 pages of content, it includes...

Clearly-marked success tips
... to help you pass Security+

Hundreds of practice questions
... throughout the book, to check your knowledge as you go
... and at the end of the book, to prepare for "The Real Thing"

Real world questions
... to ask about your own network's security
... so you're not just another "paper Security+"

Detailed chapter summaries
... reinforcing key points
... use them as last minute "cram sheets" before the exam!

The 3rd edition is more fine tuned, tweaked and edited. If you want to hedge your bet, it's a small price to pay...
