Cissp certification all in one exam guide
12 colleagues and I were doing the CISSP simulataneously. Between us 4 different books were ordered. I tried them all, and the difference between this one and the rest is indescribable. On numerous occassions someone would walk in pulling their out having tried to understand a topic in their book. "Can I please see your Shon Harris?" would inevitably come my way, followed by "oh right. Now I see." The CISSP subject matter is vast and it takes an amazing person to provide sufficient, well structured, well summarised, background information about a subject before delving into the security content relating to it -and then describing that in such a logical and easily understandable way. Thank you Shon. I wish you'd write more stuff.

CISSP Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, 2nd Edition
Through out my career in Information and Security I have done fair number of professional exams and certifications. However I have never found such consistent detailed and concise coverage of topics across the vast area of knowledge that is CISSP as is done in this book. Shon this is a job well done.

Surefire winner to pass your CISSP exam
I've just passed my CISSP exam and this book was the main source of my study. I read it twice in a period of two months, and you'll need to as there is so much information to take in. Shon Harris' style is informative with diagrams and even a touch of humor to keep your interest in some of the more heavy going areas. This differs from the official guide which is an enormous block of text. The text in the All-in-One Exam Guide is well laid out and easy on the eyes which is great on those inevitable late evenings revising. Take note of the tips and make sure you load the free CD as it is well worth the exam practice. Good Luck for your exam.
