You could do worse than start [here][1] with the MCTS SQL Server 2008 books... [1]:

Just as an informational thing... July 2013 is going to be the deadline to take SQL Server 2008 test (according to QA sections of new certifications). With the [new certification track][1] Microsoft has come up with the test are no longer version specific. You can get questions on SQL 2005, 2008 and 2012 versions. (Which I love that idea.) A good [write up][2] on the certification changes can be found on Brent Ozar's site. You might consider just start studying for the new ones... [1]:
