If you are interested in MPLS, take a look at MPLS VPN Architecture from
Cisco Press.
I truely believe ATM infrastructure is getting less popular these years, so
is this book.

Master ATM Implementation of Cisco Networks
I just read that book, and based on its contents, I passed the Campus ATM
test today. (Check the new letters after my name.)
It's fairly comprehensive, but I think it's a little out of date. There is
no mention of putting LS1010 blades in a Cat5500, though they hit that a bit
on the test. For example.
I didn't really like the format of having several chapters on theory and
then chapters on configuration later on. It got very difficult to stay
interested when it was just lines of config. But, it's well written beyond
that, and tries very hard to make a very dry topic seem just a little bit
interesting. It has some success, though that's a tough job.
The only thing that I think it lacked was any kind of discussion of MPLS
and/or tag switching. It had about one page early on that only mentions
that it exists, but goes into no details on it afterwards. That didn't
really hurt me on the test, though. It does go into the theory of ATM,
CLIP, LANE, MPOA, etc. Then it gets into PNNI, IISP, addressing, etc.
Finally, it gets into router configuration, LS1010 configuration, and a lot
of hardware specs for almost all of the ATM capable equipment that Cisco
sells. This part may be a bit out of date, but there was so much
information there, I didn't notice that there could have been more, except
for the Cat5500 stuff.
