Mark, Most of the general 'study' and 'prep' books will serve you well and the training session should fill in whatever gaps remain, so don't stress too much about which book(s) to read. One set you definitely need to have in your personal library are the 'Information Security Management Handbook' (both volumes) by Tipton & Krause. If you're working in an environment where you may have to do mainframe work, then you should try to get your hands on the original 'Information Security Management Handbook'. It is one volume has a grey cover and was printed in 1993. I managed to get one at a used book sale a couple of years ago. Keep in mind that the CISSP exam is geared to test your knowledge, not what you have remembered. There are some questions that are clear giveaways, others clearly have two correct answers, and this is where the real test lies. You have to figure out which is the 'most' correct, the best way to do this is to read each question carefully, underline the key words. Some questions will use double negatives. If you have been working in computer/networking/security for several years and read many of the regular trade rags you should do well enough to pass. Good luck!

I would like to pick up a book that I can start reading that will help me in advance to study for the course and test. Can anyone who has been in this situation help me out. No flame wars please :-)
