PMP Certification books
Among the many books available in the market for PMP, preparepm has reviews for the best ones here.
The bible
A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) -- 2004 Edition
PMBOK is the main resource on which the exam is based. You will receive a PDF file containing the PMBOK when you become a member of PMI. If you prefer to read from a book rather than your monitor, then you may have to buy it. Most people find the PMBOK a little boring to read though.
PMP Exam Prep (5th Edition) by Rita Mulcahy is the most popular book. It is written as a companion book to the PMBOK. It clearly focuses on what you need to know from PMBOK and otherwise, to clear the exam. It provides very good tips on what kind of concepts to focus on and what kind of questions to expect. It is not the best book to learn the discipline of Project Management, though it is probably the best book to prepare for the exam.
