The LPI program is ever so slightly weak in the area of review
materials. Most of the stuff out there is outdated. This is both a
strength and a weakness of the program. A weakness because you have
to look harder than you ideally should, and a strength because you
are forced to read the man pages and _use_ the software to figure out
how it all works.

For LPIC-1 I recommend Ross Brunson's book Exam Cram 2: LPIC 1.
Available at bookstores and Amazon, ISBN 0-7897-3127-4

LPIC2 is even thinner on the ground, this link is well worth a read:

I have some stuff up on my site for download as well which you are
welcome to use:

Good Luck!
