They looked very detailed when I scanned the content. I decided to skip those for now, however. As it is, i already have quite a few sources. No telling though if I'll decide to use them midway through my studies. I'll see how I progress. <strong>Caue</strong>: Hehe.. I doubt it about finishing "very fast" ;) I plan to take about a year and a half for the CCNP. The main reason is I don't have much experience with Cisco and what little exposure I have at work, they come very few and far in between. So I want to really let the knowledge sink in through prolonged study.  <strong>Jeremy:</strong> I'll be sure to post some of my thoughts about the BSCI lab portfolio. I did however find that there is ample lab scenarios you can find online. I just decided to buy the book because it saves me the time scouring the internet to find the labs (I already am addicted to the Internet as it is ;) ). Secondly, having the book allows me to follow a more organized format instead of using fragmented labs scattered all over the Internet. I have found many them everywhere.

But since you already own they all I think you´re all set! BSCI and BCMSN was one of the most nice topics in my CCNP exam! CIT also was good, but BCRAN! hahahaha! Also Suffah! I do have all Doyle´s books and they´re amazing! OSPF/ISIS is very good one, you can read it from cover to cover and it´ll don´t disappoint you for sure! Hope to see you guys soon with your CCNP numbers! You´re doing all right and for sure will finish it very fast! Cheers! The first book + some documentation from Cisco DocCD are enough to do it!
