My Buddy and I have decided to get A+ certified and then work our way up to Network+ certification. I checked amazon.com for study guides and test question banks, only to find that there are hundreds of publications that claim to help pass the tests. I would like suggestions and recommendations on which might be the best all around guide and study tool from those of you that may have gone through the process already.
We both have a decent general knowledge of hardware, components, and windows networking, so we're not looking for idiot guides or newbie books.

All Feedback Welcome

I took a class in school that helped me get my A+. THe book we used was by Mike Myers and can be seen here (http://www.design-bookshelf.com/PC/apluscert.html) as far as hardware, it is good (may be a little easy) but it deffintly helped me with the software section of the test. As far as the test is overall, it really is not hard, the thing that got me was how much i had to pay to take it!! lol
