Superd04,
helpdeskdan makes a GREAT point !!! You DO NOT want to be a "PAPER CCNA"!! Learning test question is just what you will be!
I always feel you should study 2 different books for the CCNA - one Cisco Press which tends to have EVERYTHING you need to do the job and the one from Sybex tends to help you with just what you need for the exam.

You also need practice and a sim will help if you do not want to get a few routers and switches from eBay.
also has a GREAT router sim for the CCNA and they have a FREE trial.
I also have always liked CBT Nuggets which are videos - for when you are tired of reading and just want to watch and listen. They have a bunch of FREE full length videos that you can try before you buy!! Even if you never buy - the FREE videos are worth the visit.
Hope this helps!
