Professional SQL Server 2008 Internals and Troubleshooting by Christian Bolton, Justin Langford, et. al.; does not focus on a particular exam, but it does cover many concepts important to passing the 70-450 exam and will serve as a valuable troubleshooting reference. The in-depth coverage of SQL Server database architecture and internals will provide the groundwork for a solid grasp of the total processing environment.
If you have not already taken the prerequisite 70-432 exam, SQL Server 2008 Administration: Real-World Skills for MCITP Certification and Beyond by Tom Carpenter covers both exams (70-432 and 70-450). It is a good resource packed with a lot of practical information, but it should not be your only study resource.
