Scott Lowe's Mastering VMware vSphere 5.5 (Sybex) I've talked with Scott a couple of times at VMworld and sat in on his sessions. He knows his stuff, period. Brian Atkinson's VCP5-DCV (also Sybex) also a good one.
Duncan Epping's yellowbricks.com http://careerlevelup.com/becoming-vcp-part-1-strategy-tactics-and-tools - I follow Dave on twitter, and he very recently passed his VCP. He's got some good, current stuff in there. Hope this helps.

But, I would scour oreilly.com - any title relevant to your experience and goals by O'Reilly and Associates, or perhaps by Sybex, should provide what you need.
