I have gone through the VMware training, and I find this publication as good as the expensive training.

"THE Goto Guide for the VCP exam" - by Tool on 12-OCT-2012

I read one other guide prior to taking the exam. Thankfully, I read this one as well!
This guide got me through the exam with room to spare.  The book follows the VMWare VCP Exam Roadmap to the letter. With Safari on all my mobile devices, I was able to get through the guide quickly in whatever spare moments I could find.. I did end up purchasing the premium version after finishing the book on Safari. The extra included computer based simulation exams were excellent in reinforcing the chapters content.
