Lots of deep useful information

Recommended for anyone planning to take the CSSLP exam , have some editing errors, but still it is an excellent reference full of information and useful content

Very outdated at this point and poorly edited, but the only official study guide. Pair with the All-in-One book (which is getting a new edition in 2022) and be sure to review the syllabus put out by (ISC)² for more recent topics. Passed the exam with those two books.

Good coverage

This book provides good coverage of the material. There are some obvious typographical errors, though. The answer key in the back has some mistakes.

[Paul Stonehouse]

Good coverage to prep for the exam. It really goes from the basics to deeper knowledge.
However, there were many errors for the review questions, spelling and grammar. Really difficult to understand how a book that focuses on quality can be published with so many obvious errors.
