I've passed both tests a few years back but I haven't done any computers for a couple years. I'm looking for something with both knowledge and practical application, so I can get back into the field and know what I'm doing when I get behind the wheel.

For the basic A+ type stuff I'm looking at these books...
IT Essentials by Cisco Publications:
http://www.amazon.com/Essentials-5th-Companion-Guide/dp/1587133083/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417326458&sr=8-1&keywords=cisco+it+essentials

http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Certification-Guide-220-801-220-802/dp/007179512X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417326714&sr=8-1&keywords=meyers+a%2B.

And for the Sec+, I'm looking at these books.
CompTIA Security + All-in-One Exam Guide:
http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Security-Guide-SY0-301-CD-ROM/dp/0071771476/ref=sr_1_27?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1417326808&sr=1-27&keywords=comptia+security%2B

Are there any ones that are good, that I might've missed, that have plenty of practical application to go along with the theory?
 
Solution
Who are you going through for the exams? If I was gonna test with compTIA I would use their books. Plus they usually come with like a practice test CD in them. I have the Net+ book from them and it is really good.
