A book I picked up recently, quite old but still great reference for quick look ups and refreshers is Voice and Data Networking by Nathan J. Muller and published by McGraw-Hill.

Now this is in no way a study guide for specific tests or a step by step text or walkthrough.

It is however an excellent reference book to have in the arsenal.covers such things as ARC net, ATM, BLuetooth, Fibre Channel, Frame Relay Linux, Microwave, Transceivers, SONET loops, Video-Conferencing, Hubs, Intelligent networks and much much mroe. Fun for the whole family, OK I won't go that far but it's a great bible for the desk.
(oooops, I said bible, let the flames begin!)

I think, you can watch in internet, what subjects are affected in these tests (I know nothing about it). Than go to any good bookshop & whatch tables of contnents in books look appropriatble. Search some which will cover almost all the material.

Depending on what you are looking for, I recommend one of these two:

1) If you just want to pass the exam and get it over with as soon as possible, try Network+ Certification For Dummies, 2nd Edition. (http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesTitle/productCd-0764516213.html). It focuses exclusively on what you must study for the exam.

2) If you really want to prepare yourself for the cold hard world, try Network+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Second Edition (http://shop.osborne.com/cgi-bin/osborne/0072131640.html) or pre-order Network+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Third Edition (http://shop.osborne.com/cgi-bin/osborne/0072253452.html).
