Hello, I did BGP beta and I found that Internet Routing Architectures does not cover everything required on the exam, especially if one does not have hands-on experience. This is the reason I suffered, despite passing the exam (to my surprise).
You can also supplement with Cisco ISP Essentials (Cisco Press) as well as Cisco's website. And, of course, John Stewart's book as mentioned. Internet Routing Architectures was the main book, but I also found it difficult in some cases. Cisco ISP Essentials is very nice, and make sure you absorb it completely. What I can say is this: If you absorb completely "Internet Routing Architectures" and "Cisco ISP Essentials" and then make sure that you get right every question that that you are able to get right, you will pass the exam. I think there is no single best book for this exam.
