There isn't one that I'd just say "This is #1". Especially since not all 
cover both levels, and we're getting ready to launch new updated Level 1 
exams, so current texts will be obsolete.

I can say, however, do NOT use the Coriolis Exam Prep titles that say LPI 
on them. They are NOT good.

O'Reilly's LPI in a nutshell is good. Osborne should have one out sometime 
this year that won't be bad (i hope). HungryMinds/IDG/whoever bought them 
now has a title out somewhere that should be good.

The best place to start is the published LPI objectives. Then, find your 
weaknesses and look for materials that cover that. You can use the LPI 
based prep books as a guideline, but there really isn't (and shouldn't be) 
a book that tells you everything you need to know.
