There are the usual books you must read: Routing TCP/IP by Doyle, Internet Routing Architectures by Halabi, etc.
You'll want to go to CCO and read all you can about SRB, RSRB, Token Ring, and DLSw+. Make sure you understand basic SNA and NetBIOS. I also bit the bullet and got a one-year subscription to CertificationZone and that helped immensely. Their practice tests are awesome and I found they were actually much harder than the real exam. If you can take a few of those and get a passing grade each time, that's a good sign that you're probably ready for the real exam. Another suggestion would be to get your CCDP before going for the CCIE. A _lot_ of the material I studied for the CCDA/CCDP exams came up in the CCIE written. This would certainly alter your certification timeline a bit but I found it helpful.

I would like some suggestions as to where to start my study, what courses are recommended and what books others have found useful. I have looked at the CISCO site and the list is endless..Any suggestions ?
