Good book for those studying for CISSP. Covers the domains in depth. The online materials are only available for a 1(ONE) YEAR after you register it. There is no soft copy of the book.
For shipping, just wished that it could have been shrink wrapped, as the book is paperback and was packed in a big loose envelope. The back corner of the book was slightly damanged/bent during shipping. Would be better if it could have been shipped in a box with those air-pillows to cushion the book. The book smells new, but I have a feeling it was returned judging by the scratches and the slight damage on the book.

Great book if you don't have any prior edition CISSP books. Not worth the money if you do. IMHO.

(Edit added to bottom of review on results of taking the exam)
Bought this book thinking it was the most up-to-date, insightful CISSP book. While it is insightful, this 8th edition explains RSA as "most commonly used with the symmetric algorithm DES, which is quickly being replaced with AES." .... Now hold up, who the heck uses DES anymore?? Luckily, I have access to a 5th edition at work and was curious to see what the 5th edition (published in 2010) had to say about RSA... THE EXACT FREAKING THING. Word for word. And after looking and comparing many sections of text throughout the books, a lot of it is the same, again, word for word. So if you have access to an older edition book, which I'm sure your workplace has a few, some colleagues that have already passed the CISSP whom may have a book or two, get your books from them and save your money. Then watch youtube videos and search the web for the newer content (cloud, attribute-based access control, etc.) and don't focus on the stuff that is TOO technical. If you don't have access to prior books, then by all means get it and the Sybex book for variation. Also, Larry Greenblatt's CISSP videos for $100 are great. I highly recommend those. And for practice tests, other than the ones provided by this book series and Sybex, I have really enjoyed the Boson practice exams (Don't remember the price but worth it).
Edit: Passed the exam on my first attempt. I feel invincible right now. I have ~6 years of experience within these domains. A lot of hours put in every week (10-30) for the past few months.
What helped me prepare for the exam, as mentioned earlier in my review, were the boson exams and Larry Greenblatts videos. Both sources are well worth the money. A book is nice to have to flip through the pages and to highlight things but to add to my earlier review on this book: 1) this book would repeat itself several times. Repetition is good I know, but there so much that the book could be 100-200 pages shorter... I’d rather re-read the book but IMO 2) the isc2 exam outline specifically states what is on the exam, the sections of this book that reflect the exam outline sections are maybe a paragraph long and not worth the read. Why waste the readers time? 3) after attempting the exams questions in the book (I didn’t not try the online test bank), I feel as though these questions are too granular on out-dated or irrelevant information. U.S. laws, etc. not saying there aren’t good questions but in a “all-in-all” viewpoint. The test is more globally concentrated now. Again, could’ve shortened the book by another ~200 pages.
My viewpoints on the irrelevant granularity are with the exam in mind. More knowledge is better but just do not beat yourself up on a practice exam you score 60-70% on. Chances are some of those questions are too technical for the exam and that information can be put off til another time to learn about.
To bring it all back to a point, boson exams & Larry Greenblatts video have my accreditation.

No e-book included...

I just bought the book.
Regarding the Amazon services: Very good, but additional care should be taken in shipping paperback books.
Regarding book: No e-book included... In 2018 – 2019 it is important to have paper books, but also very important is e-book version in order to keep an easier track of the learning when you are not at office or home premises and cannot have your book with you....
For what I checked around and a quick look and compare of the book with previous edition, better stay on the 7-th edition. It's almost the same content, but it has e-book version included and is hard cover.

This is the best of the CISSP exam prep books

I read the Sybex book and this Shon Harris book and found that the Shon Harris book was much better as a study guide. More readable and great at providing examples and diagrams to make sure you have the concepts. This book goes deeper than what you need for the test but you will have a better understanding of the concepts which is really the most important part of this. I passed my test on the first attempt but have had 8 years experience in the field as well.

Enjoyed it

This is a 1,200-page monster of a book on CISSP that is certainly long winded, but if you want a lot of information about each topic, this is certainly it. Good amount of practice questions as well throughout the book. Enjoyed the authors writing style and the interesting and humorous content throughout the book.
This was phase 1 of my "road to CISSP journey." I am going through the ISC2 2018 Sybex book material and practice questions now.
I have not taken the CISSP yet, but will before the end of the year. If I can, I may update this review upon passing and compare the All-in-One, versus the Sybex book, and possible the Eleventh Hour book if I decide to read that one as well ... and see which one had the greatest relevane/support towards successfully passing the CISSP.

While the book is the industry standard, I was relying on the digital content to supplement my exam preparation.
