LPIC-1 exam prep?

Googling this topic leads to a lot of old or bad answers. Just wondering what are some of the resources others have used, or are using?

Some I've found:

New IBM developerWorks series - Incomplete

Old IBM developerWorks series - Outdated

LPIC-1: Linux Professional Institute Certification Study Guide: (Exams 101 and 102) - Prominently mentioned on LPI site and other places, but the reviews aren't very encouraging

LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell - Much better reviews

Right now I am also planning for the CompTIA Linux+ exam which is equivalent as LPIC-1, as you know. I am only reading "CompTIA
Linux+ Complete Study Guide (Exams LX0-101 and LX0-102)".

I already have RHECE and then I switched to a more specific track so I just want to revise. If someone has experience than at least LPIC-1/Linux+ shouldn't be hard at all. The contents are very basic and vendor neutral.

I took the Linux+ for a work requirement a couple of years ago. It was incredibly basic compared to LPIC-1 content.

but if someone can pass Linux+ he is automatically get the LPIC-1 certificate as both are equivalent.
