70-431 - any alternative for MS Press books?

Which book would you recommend as an addition to a MS Press book? Maybe something which does not make you fall asleep after 10 pages (which is actually some improvement: with 70-270 I was falling asleep after 5 pages ).

Thanks.

I don't know how good Sybex is on the SQL exams, but I traditionally get them in addition to the MSPress books for Windows OS exams...

I used the Sybex book and passed. I havent seen the MS Press one so cant compare but the Sybex book was no better or worse than the average cert prep book in my opinion.

"Yawn city" could be used to describe most IT books but a "little and often" policy helps with that I think...
