When choosing the books you use for your CISSP certification I think it is important to understand your own skill level and how much knowledge you would need to both pass the certification, but ultimately do your job well as an IT security professional.
The first 2 books I would recommend for people with some IT security experience I would suggest these 2 books, they are missing all the fluff the full guides have, this is exactly what you need for the CISSP certification and no more.
CISSP Study Guide, Third Edition(Paperback)
by Eric Conrad, Seth Misenar, Joshua Feldman
Eleventh Hour CISSP®, Third Edition: Study Guide (Paperback)
by Eric Conrad, Seth Misenar, Joshua Feldman
For people with some limited or no IT security experience I would suggest either or both of these books, on top of the CISSP knowledge they also have more full and in depth general IT security knowledge.
CISSP All-in-One Exam Guide, Seventh Edition (Hardcover)
by Shon Harris, Fernando Maymi
CISSP (ISC)2 Certified Information Systems Security Professional Official Study Guide (Paperback)
