[Vijay pillai]

hi,
I would like to know about the book Berry Boone/William Stanek(Java2 Exam guide).
Could u pls guide me if the books along with Java Exam Cram will provide me a good combination for all the essential topics for java certification.
Or u recomend me to go for a better one.
as these books seem to bequite costly.
pls guide me.
thanks in advance
