MSDN links for 70-480 Exam

Question
-
I recently passed 70-513, but am turning my attention to the newer set of certification exams now. I watched several videos on Pluralsight on HTML5 which are very good. However, I have not yet had any opportunity to use HTML5 at work. With the other certification exams I have taken, I have found that going through one of the study guides has really helped me learn the product so much better than any other method I have tried. Between the book and various links found in the practice tests, I feel I have been able to learn a lot of material that I could use to improve my applications at work--and I have always tried to incorporate whatever I think is beneficial in any of my old projects if I have a chance so that I can improve them.
Consequently, seeing that the direction in programming seems to be heading towards HTML5, I decided that my best option would be to look into 70-480 to give myself a more structured approach to learning HTML5. Unfortunately, there is no study guide available for this exam for another 5 - 6 months. There ARE a few practice exams, but I would prefer a written study guide to start. Since there is nothing out there, does anyone have any suggestions for any good books to really get into a bit more than just the standard "Here are some of the new things you can do with HTML5" and short little examples? I know there are links listed here, but these are all for videos from what I can tell. I am sure I will learn a lot from them, but I like to work alongside and constantly using pause and restart gets a bit tedious if that is all I have.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!

Microsoft Press has announced a book, which is unfortunately not yet available:
There is the official course 20480, which covers the subject matter of the 70-480 exam. Taking the classroom training is likely to be quite expensive, but if you know someone who works for a Certified Partner, you may be able to buy the manuals from them.
Also, I am aware that you asked for books and not videos, but the Microsoft Virtual Academy is currently offering for free a course for preparing exam 70-480. What's more, they are offering a voucher for taking 70-480 free of charge to those people who take the MVA course:
