I believe the value lies in the series. The ocncept seems to be to have
sections accodring to the CBK, then fill them with papers that are new or
have something interesting to say. You'll probably also find that some
sections might get more emphasis in one edition than in another. Hence, for
preparation, you'll want to read section 1 of all editions to cover the
most knowledge of CBK 1.

I feel this was probably the best book I read through.  I'm actually
using it as a basis for a new InfoSec security course I'm developing.

Well I just parted with $60 for this book because it was recommended by
the study group I am in.  However, everyone at Amazon and other internet
bookstores seemed to slam the book saying it was a waste of money.  I,
just like everyone else studying for the CISSP exam, dont have time to
waste on reading resources which will not be beneficial to my studying
time.  These ratings were very low for all three volumes.  The CISSP
Prep book though seems to receive high marks as a resource for studying
for the CISSP, even after just hitting the marketplace a couple of
months ago.  Does anyone else feel the same way about the Information
Security Mgmnt Handbook.  Did you find it to be useless in your study
time for the CISSP?
