I have to recommend CompTIA A+ 220-701 and 220-702 Exam Cram (5th Edition) by David L. Prowse for anyone wanting a study guide for the A+ exam. It can certainly be used by those with little or no exprience, as well as those with years of IT exprience wishing to refresh what is required to pass the latest CompTIA A+ exam.
