And for the CCNP I am currently using Cisco Press Prep Library
CCIE Prep: Cisco LAN Switching (This is the equivalent of Doyle's book on
the switching side. Very good and will help you truly understand things
like STP for the switching exam)
TCP/IP Illustrated Vol. 1 (Not the most entertaining book, but it will give
you a *much* deeper understanding of IP and it's related suite of protocols.
This is pretty much the definitive guide for TCP/IP and is a must read)
Cisco Routers for IP Routing Little Black Book (this is one that was
suggested by HB so I decided to try it and been very suprised. Didn't
expect much from it, but it has provided some really good insights and
twists on routing protocols and routing in general)

Might also consider the CCIE Network Design Fundamentals from the CCO for
coverage of DLSw and SNA.
There is a disproportionate amount of broken ring questions on the present
written given the utter lack of greenfield deployment for the past three to
five years, hopefully they will correct this when the new written exam comes
out in January or February.
The previous post here that recommends Clark & Hamilton's Cisco LAN
Switching is right on the money. This book is not only essential for a deep
understanding of LAN switching and its loop avoidance protocols, it is a
delightful read. Who would have thought STP could be this fun?
Cheers,

Their second edition is much much better. It's level of "trickiness" is
pretty decent. I would consider the first book to be more of a "CCNA
going on CCNP" level.
