Hi Jay03,

You will want to take a look at the ITIL Lifecycle Publication Suite.
ISBN 10: 0113310501

Good luck with your Foundation exam when you take it.

Dan.

The whole lifecycle suite is very expensive, and unnecessary for Foundation. V3 does not yet have the pockey books etc. published - but if you go for V2, then I suggest the following as sufficient


Foundations of IT Service Management (based on ITIL®)

ISBN: 9077212582

£28.00 from ITSMF online bookstore



This introduction to IT Service Management is based on the latest ITIL® books on Service Support, Service Delivery and Security Management. It is intended to serve as:

A thorough and convenient introduction to the field of IT Service Management and the above three core books in the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL)

and

A self-study guide that contains all the material needed to prepare for the Foundation Certificate examination in IT Service Management.

The book contains the same core (SS/SD/Sec Man) chapters as the official OGC 'Introduction to ITIL' book.. and also an additional chapter on exam preparation and an example case-study.

The book is endorsed by the IPESC (itSMF International Publications Executive Sub-Committee) and is currently available in English, German, Italian, Brazilian-Portuguese, Korean, French, Spanish, Danish, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Arabic and Dutch with more translations planned.
