Best CISSP book?

jpkennedy79

Getting ready to start studying for the CISSP exam and I see there are a number of books. What is the best book for this exam? Thanks.

The following page is not finished nor available from the nav menu, but it shows the recommended books. I only read the passport, but I know the others are the most recommended books. I suggest to get the official guide 'and' the AIO from shon harris.

I used the Shon Harris All in One. It is a great book.

I teach CISSP at the local university along with other CISSPs from our local chapter. I've found that the 'breadth' of knowledge can't be found in a single book. Johan Hiemstra and Ten9t6 have excellent suggestions. I'd like to add/summarize the following:

The CISSP Prep Guide
Krutz and Vines
by Wiley publisher

All-In-One CISSP Certification Exam Guide
Shon Harris
By Osborne publisher

Mike Meyer's Certification Passport CISSP
Mike Meyer's
by Osborne

The Total CISSP Exam Prep Book
Thomas R. Peltier and Patrick D. Howard
by Auerbach

Th Official (ISC)2 Guide to the CISSP Exam
S. Hansche, John Berti, Chris Hare
by Auerbach

Use these books (and CD's, tests, etc that they provide) and the sites like the cccure.org website for testing and you will have a good foundation for taking the test.

The third edition of Shon Harris' book is due out in August. The release date has been push back several times this year, so I don't know when it will actually be available.
