I haven't read them myself but have heard good things about those books, although I would suggest using the VMware documentation as part of your studies as the exam questions are validated for accuracy against it rather than your books.
The one thing you are definitely missing is a lab, some questions are answered much more easily when you have actually done what's being asked about.
