I would get both if you could. The Caslow book is geared towards tricks,
traps, and techniques. The CCIE Practical Studies is hardcore focused on
exam topics with good detail in my opinion.
The CCIE Practical Studies has five full labs in the back with mini-labs
throughout to explain the technologies. I've only completed the first lab of
the five and it had a couple of major errors. The solutions for the five
labs haven't been published yet and this is quickly becoming an issue.
If I had to choose only one book, I would go with the CCIE Practical
Studies. Realize this is only Volume I in the series and it does not cover
several topics like IPX which are covered in Caslow. I'm assuming these
topics will be available in Volume II sometime in the future. Hopefully I
won't need it with my exam date in a couple of weeks.
Forget the Caslow book for BGP or anything to do with BGP. You are in for a
rude awakening if this is your only resource for this technology.
Make sure you have Internet Routing Architectures from Cisco Press for BGP.
