Re: MPLS Fundamentals.

James...
... I would not recommend just sticking to x amount of chapters from
one book, but rather understand the broadset of topics that they might
ask.
... If I elaborate on the cisco set of what might be asked, I
personally would use this breakdown covering the MPLS content in V4.

I feel you know and can configure/troubleshoot below you should be fine.

- Overview
        + Terminology
        + Control and Data Plane
        + RIB
        + LIB
        + FIB
        + LFIB
        + Basic Configuration
- Labels
        + FEC
        + LSP
        + LDP
        + Targeted LDP session
        + Conditional Label Advertising
        + PHP (Penultimate-Hop-Popping)
        + TTL Propagation
- MPLS VPNs
- Advanced VRF Features
        + Route-limiting
        + VRF Import Filtering
        + Selective VRF Export
        + Hub-Spoke
- PE and PE: MP-iBGP
- PE to CE: Static route
- PE to CE: RIP
- PE to CE: EIGRP
- PE to CE: OSPF
- PE to CE: eBGP
- VRF-Lite
- Troubleshooting MPLS and LDP
- Troubleshooting MPLS VPNs

Obviously if someone else can added something relevant please do :)
