What Study Materials to buy

Question
-
I am having difficulty finding good books to buy to start studying for the MCSE Desktop Infrastructure certifications. I am looking for the best books that are not just cram guides for the tests. Can anyone recommend a good set to cover each test 70-410, 411, 412 and 415 and 416. I found one by William Panek on Amazon but am kind of gun shy on buying a book that doesnt have many reviews. I want the book to give enough information about the topics and not just how to pass the test (if that makes sense) I have been working in the IT field for 8 years but finally got out of helpdesk and started a field tech role a year ago. My career path with the company I work for is wanting me to get the MCSE Desktop and MCSE Server certs and I want to the best materials I can find to study. I appreciate all your help with this and hope you can give me some really good information on what the best books are.
Thank you
Benny

Hi,
I would recommend take the syllabus and create a virtual machine and go through the msdn topics of the each area and implement in your virtual machine and learn. This will give you a much better exposure to the product and you will gain insights.
Also following are the books information.

Hello,
The TechNet Wiki Forum is a place for the TechNet Wiki Community to engage, question, organize, debate, help, influence and foster the TechNet Wiki content, platform and Community.Please note that this forum exists to discuss TechNet Wiki as a technology/application.
As it's off-topic here, I am moving the question to the Training and Certification forum.
