Summary: Does not replace the CBK *at all*, but may be worth review
Comment: I'm not sure if it was "just my luck", but absolutely none of the questions (and VERY few of the concepts) presented in this book were actually on my exam. Perhaps it's due to the continuous evolution of the test question base, but the questions on the exam were VERY specific. So STUDY THE MAIN ISC2 BOOK FIRST AND FREQUENTLY, and only use this "Dummies" book for additional light study.

Summary: Rugged Shelf-life
Comment: We received the book as requested. The Slightly used condition turned out to scuffed and dirty page edges. This was acceptable.
The delivery time was excellent!

Summary: I had this strange feeling...
Comment: I used the 'look inside' option at Amazon and tried 'cryptography'... Well... to my surprise, the first couple of pages felt like reading Shon Harris' "CISSP All-in-one Exam Guide". It was only a slightly condensed version of her book but the attempts at humor and light-heartedness were expanded. "Hmmmm...", I thought. Shon must have condensed her "All-in-one" and repackaged it as a "... for Dummies" product. But, then, I looked at the front page and I couldn't find her name there. She wasn't one of the 2 authors.
This is very interesting.

Summary: Quick overview
Comment: Nutshell review - If you want a very fast, high level, quick, shallow, big picture overview of the CISSP exam then this will do. However, you will not pass the exam on this alone.
Customer Rating:
Summary: concise and to the point
Comment: This book is suitable both as a starter and final review material.
For newbies, it provides a bird's eye view of CISSP and quickly
get you into the mood. For the more experienced IT professionals,
it provides a quick summary of knowledge points.
I bought it two weeks before the CISSP exam ... it helped me clearing my head.
For more extensive coverage, you can look for other CISSP `tome' books, such as "Handbook of Information Security Management". My advice is: don't read too many books. CISSP exam is more about security common sense, less about those nitty gritty details. Most of exam takers have a full-time job, it's important to focus the energy/time wisely. It's very hard to read extensively for couple of months ... It took me about one month of dedicated study ... your mileage may vary
