I pre-ordered the MS Press book for the 70-680 exam and have just been told by Amazon that it's going to be delayed (I think until 15th November). Since I can't wait for another couple of weeks, I'm thinking about buying another book to read until it's released

So, has anyone purchased a book for the exam (or indeed the Beta exam)? Anyone have a recommendation on which to buy?
I'm thinking Windows 7 Administrator Pocket Consultant or Windows 7 Bible?

I saw a hard copy of the Win7 Bible, and it looked impressive enough. Thick, many in-depth chapters, seemed like a solid read. But I only spent 5 mins scanning through it.

 

HI Evilwheato,
My copy of the MS press 70-680 book has just landed on the doormat.
Did you cancel and order a different book instead.

NB

 

No I didn't. I waited about 2 days and got another email from Amazon saying it was being dispatched
I got the book yesterday!

 

I have found Sybex books much better than M$ books. It might be personal choice.
