I would appreciate any other suggestions on good books.

TREEMONKEY just sign up for and take the test, its not as hard as you think. I took it and was actually dissapointed at how easy it was, all I did was study the study guide and apply the information that I have learned in the field.

I am not badmouthing the ISA but I feel that the test should be made to be much more difficult.
