That's true, the CCNP Specializations are retired. There is however the Cisco IP Telephony Specialist (CIPTS???) which has CCNP certification as a prerequisite.
I took the old CVoice exam (VoFR, VoATM, VoIP) to get the CCNP Voice Specialization about a year ago. I used Global Knowledge's "Configuring Cisco Voice over IP" by Elliot Lewis, edited by Keith O'Brien, ISBN 1-928994-03-2. I used it in conjunction with various docs on cisco's page, and that was enough to pass the exam, combined with the experience I had at the time. There are probably better publications out there nowadays, if nothing else because they're more up-to-date. I haven't taken the CIPT or QOS exams, and I don't know if the current CVoice is the same exam as the old one. I thought about taking the other two exams to get the Telephony specialization, but my CCNP Voice specialization doesn't expire for another year, and my lab date is in July.
