Best Book(s) to study for the CISSP?

Best Book(s) to study for the CISSP?

Best Book(s) to study for the CISSP?

(OP)
I wanted to get everyone's feedback of those individuals that have gone through the testing process.  I have already read some of the threads here that reference books but since the topics in security is ever-so changing, I wanted to know some of the latest.  

I am looking into purchasing this book: http://www.amazon.com/Official-ISC-Guide-CISSP-Press/dp/0849382319/sr=8-2/qid=1169148964/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/104-1558885-5584758?ie=UTF8&s=books.  

Any other suggestions?

RE: Best Book(s) to study for the CISSP?

Looking for an "All Inclusive" book isn't going to do much. It can give you a framework of what to expect but unless you have a broad spectrum of knowledge, you're cheating yourself into a certification.

perl -e 'print $i=pack(c5,(40*2),sqrt(7600),(unpack(c,Q)-3+1+3+3-7),oct(104),10,oct(101));'

The Shon Harris book posted by LadySlinger is the one I have been using. A classmate of mine used that as his only reference and passed. Two other teachers of mine are also using the Shon Harris book, they haven't taken the test yet. I am curious to how the official guide is.

You can't cheat yourself into the CISSP, you still need work experience to get certified.

RE: Best Book(s) to study for the CISSP?

I've done my research and apparently the Shon Harris book is the is excellent; the best out of all of them.  I recently purchased it myself and am using it in conjunction with the Cybex CISSP Study Guide (Third Edition) wich I also really like.  I think both books are laid out very well.

Someone just told me too that the CISSP is pretty good.

Then they followed with the sentence: "But there's a some things that are wrong..." ponder

Hi

I have passed the exam in the last 3 Months and the best advice on what to study is Shon Harris 3RD Edition, this in conjunction with the CCCURE.ORG practise exams, saw me through.  Hope this helps
