For learning Java syntax, Head First Java is a must. This book is updated with version 1.5 info, but for the most part, it is a learning guide on how to code Java, which is what you need to know for the SCJP exam:

Head First Java by Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates

The other book you'll want is the actual certification guide for SCJP. I believe version 1.4 is actually called Java 2.

Sun Certified Programmer & Developer for Java 2 Study Guide

By the way, have you thought about SCJA? That's the new entry level Java certification from Sun. It's a tad easier than SCJP. My signature has some good book links on SCJA.

Happy Java!

You can also try Khalid Mughal's book. I think both Khalid Mughal's and Kathy's book are required to know more about the subject.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
