SSCP and CISSP Study Material

I'm beginning the process of studying for both tests. I'd like to take SSCP in October and CISSP a few months later. I'm finding a lot of different material and books on here. I realize this question is asked over and over, but I'll ask it again.

What are the best books for the SSCP exam? I have the AIO CISSP v5 book available, but since I only have two months before the SSCP exam I'm looking for a book focused on SSCP. I'll take care of CISSP later. I'm basically being paid to study and take these exams so I'm eager to get started. Thanks!

Amazon.com: Official (ISC)2 Guide to the SSCP CBK, Second Edition ((ISC)2 Press) (9781439804834): Harold F. Tipton: Books

Amazon.com: SSCP Video Mentor (9780789739513): Shon L. Harris: Books

Amazon.com: SSCP Video Course (9780789739902): Shon L. Harris: Books

As far as the videos go you could get a safaribooksonline subscription that is month to month and it has Shon Harris videos that cost $700 on amazon but watch them on safaribooks and pay around $80 for 2 months and save a ton of money. It also has the video mentor labs as well.
