FWIW, as the author of a book on CISSP and somebody who’s been watching that certification for years, I also agree with the recommendation of Clement DuPuis’s outstanding CISSP prep Web site: http://www.cccure.org, the online study group for the CISSP exam. His book recommendations are spot on (he teaches CISSP boot camps and covers this entire curriculum at least half-a-dozen times a year).

Interested and voracious readers might also find my two-part article at InformIT.com “The Computer Security Bookshelf,” also of interest in digging deeply into the background materials for this exam:

Part I: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=31129
Part II: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=31127

HTH, and thanks for posting.
