You can't formally buy them separate from a training event. I would definitely say that the exam is not based around the training manual though, VMware publish the VCP exam blueprint, and they make all the vSphere documentation available via their website.

This is the official VCP5 page: http://www.vmware.com/go/VCP

There's a VCP5 tab on my blog which will give you some great information and links: http://vmwaretraining.blogspot.com

VMware Press has a book on VCP 5 but I don't know how good it is.

Mastering VMware vSphere 5 by Scott Lowe.  The best by far.

Take the Install, Configure, Manage course, study the book with the help of a lab, and then write the exam.
