When I did my certification back in the days, I just bought the most popular books on amazon. If I had to do it again, i would get a subscription to safari books.
Todd Lammle's CCNA books are good. So are the Cisco Press books obviously. I recommend 2 or more sources of reading. Buy the books used on Amazon and you can get several different books for the price of one new one at the bookstore.
