    Which 70-680 Book?

    I am studying for the 70-680: Configuring Windows 7 and using professor Messer’s videos but I would like a book to go with it – for the life of me I can’t decide which one to buy? Any recommendations?

    How about the Microsoft MCTS book, i do believe there are a few mistakes in the book but on the whole not bad

    I second that.

    Unless I need another perspective to help with concepts I have trouble with I just get the official MS study guide.

    It's usually worth googling for the errata for the book you bought as well to avoid the mistakes.

    Just google the book's title or its isbn along with the word "errata" and you should find it.

    The MS Press books get a lot of stick but the 680 covered everything that was on my exam. This certainly isn't the case for certain other ones on the EA track.
