You could also look at Andy Crowe's PMI-ACP prep book. I'd also suggest reading PMI's Agile Practice Guide in addition to one of the two prep books which Rami and I have mentioned.
Thank you both. One more question:
Is here an institute that handles CSM certificate like PMI does the PMP and is there a universal resource for CSM like the PMBOK? Saving Changes...

Also, be aware that there are two sources for Scrum certificates: scrumalliance.org (CSM) and scrum.org (PSM). I did the PSM as I heard the CSM is too easy to get and, therewith, may lose its relevance. The PSM is way cheaper and does not expire. However, you need to score 85% or higher.

Thanks Carl, this information definitely helps as I've been juggling between the two websites since morning trying to figure out the differences and which is more legit. Thanks!

They are both legit! I think this is more a personal preference, or maybe the one or the other are more used in your profession.

The CSM is a thinly veiled excuse for selling expensive two day training courses. The only way to get the CSM is to take a course from a certified Scrum trainer (certified through Scrum Alliance).
As Carl has indicated, Scrum.org's certifications are cheaper and don't expire so if all you need is a Scrum-focused cert, the PSM I is pretty much your cheapest option.

Thanks Kiron. Good information to be aware of. I read pretty much the same from other sources on the web.
