Which track?
The Security book for the Security track was very nice for the Security track the last time I took it, but it has not been updated to my knowledge.
The RS track has a new 4th edition that I think some people claim to be relevant for the exam.
My advice: Train for the written "PRECISELY" as you would for the lab, whichever track you choose. In my experience of having passed 3 CCIE RS Written Exams and 1 CCIE Security Exam to date, I can tell you that the exams are not "theory" as much as they very very practical and close to the content of the real exam.
Yep - even when we needed to understand Token-Ring inside-out for the written it was totally relevant to passing the CCIE RS Lab. Totally.
Others say theory... nope!!! If you don't understand bridging and spanning-tree thoroughly chances are you'll not pass the lab - knowing all of your options is NOT theory, it is very practical.

Darby Weaver thanks for the reply. I want to go for R&S track.
So "CCIE Routing and Switching Certification Guide, 4th Edition" is enough to take written exam or I also need some other stuff too. I read somewhere at least dozen of books recommended for CCIE written which confuses me a lot how to read that whole stuff.
Regards.

Remember one of the best study preps is a program like Narbik's Bootcamp/Workbooks or INE's Program with VOD/Workbooks - these bring home the essence of the CCIE Written Exam.
Topics like Spanning-Tree features abound and lots of other real-world/ccie-lab topics are filled into 100 questions. So there is a lot of stress in the test.
Like I say - it is very similar to the real lab except we get multiple choice questions versus trying to interpret a string of text and deliver the correct configuration based on a lot of supporting data that is littered about in the span of 8 hours or less nowadays.
