For Cisco channel partners, it's all available in the Steps to Success area at the URL below. Look at the "Best Practices by Phase or Technology" selector to get the presale/design info you're looking for.

If you're not a Cisco partner, I think you probably can't access that URL (haven't tried, but most other /partner URLs are partner-only). Then the best you've got is the book unless you can get the materials through your Cisco rep.
