There is no doubt about the K&B book (SCJP 6), it is quite good. However, their book for OCPJP 7 will come in June end. We hope that the book will be good as well. However, I started reading the book by Ganesh/Sharma and I (and few others) found this book useful.

I suggest you take a look at the first chapter (i.e. FAQs chapter) by Ganesh/Sharma book. This chapter answers all the questions a newbie could have on OCPJP 7.

Btw, for 1Z0-803, I've gone through the 3 following resources.
Enthuware
OCA Java SE 7 Programmer I Certification Guide by Gupta
Oracle Certified Associate, Java SE 7 Programmer Study Guide by Reese
I felt Gupta was the easiest of the 3, but the current unreleased beta ebook is still a bit crude, mainly illustrations are still amateurish hand drawings. Reese's book was structured around the core objectives but he took the liberty of expositing more advanced concepts that will not be on the exam. Enthuware mainly gives you 6/7 mock exams, which is good once you have the concepts down. I wouldn't recommend a complete beginner only go with Enthuware and expect to pass. Enthuware's strength is that they "stretch/push" your knowledge. According to their stats, most people that took their mock exams avg around low 70% but when they took actual exam, they did 92%.

i contacted flipkart and the product is out of stock.
Could you let me know whether all java se 7 features are available in this book and how would you rate this book on a scale of 1 to 10,1 being least and 10 being the best.
Do they have ample examples of code for demonstration purposes for each topic.
could you tell me whether buying this book is really worth it or should i wait for K&B Java se 7 book due for release on June Month.

Book recommended this link which is pretty good especially since it's Oracle's,
Lesson: Preparation for Java Programmer Language Certification
As of right now, I can recommend Enthuware as one of the the must have resources.
If you are a seasoned Java programmer looking to pass the certification as cheaply as possible, the Enthuware mock exams and the free Oracle link should be enough to pass.
