    Hi, I'm just about to purchase a cisco lab and wondering what the best course books are. Also can they be purchased in waterstones etc?

    I am doing the same, I am about half way into BSCI at the moment. The books are cheapest on thebookdepositary (where I got them)

    I bought a CCNP lab but its very hard to study with because of the noise it makes. I use GNS as I don't need to know how to connect a serial cable

    In addition please do not ask which material is best as that is subjective. Try them for youself as only you will know which material suits you best.
