With regard to content, Harris’ CISSP Guide is, in a word, outstanding. CISSP material is on the dry side so the book breaks the monotony by interspersing the content with amusing anecdotes. Note: If you are one of those people who just cannot accept that a technical book can be anything other than *dry* & boring, then go buy Krutz & Vines CISSP Prep Guide. While I found that title informative it was *extremely* challenging to stay awake to read it.
In all matters of practicality, reading both Harris’ & Krutz & Vine’s CISSP books were largely informative exercises for me because I don’t plan on dropping the $400 bucks to take the exam. The economy simply doesn’t warrant the expense. There *are* no jobs in security because all the good paying highly skilled positions are being outsourced & offshored to 3rd world scab nations at the fastest rate Congre$$ enables them to be.
Furthermore, what’s the point of putting your all into studying and securing professional certifications if the best you can do is flipping burgers at $6.00/hr. Don’t kid yourself – that’s what the United States is depreciating to. It’s a race to the bottom where the multibillion dollar transnational corporations have carte blanche to shop the planet for the *cheapest* labor and couldn’t care less about American jobs.

The book was advertised as new and i paid for expedite shipment. But unfortunately, the book was delivered via regular shipment, the book was used (not new), and it did not contain the CD for the book.
Nevertheless, when i returned the book, my money was refunded. Still, i lost time in waiting for the book, returning the book and getting my money back. And i even incurred shipping charges when i returned the book.

I started reading this but fell asleep. Use cccure.org or the Prep Guide, anything but this!

My one-star rating does not reflect my rating of the book but, rather, my experience in purchasing this book through Amazon.com. Although it is listed as “Third-Edition” Amazon.com does not carry the 3rd Edition. I was sent the “Second Edition” and upon my complaint was notified the store does not carry the Third Edition. **Warning to those seeking the most recent information!**
