I purchased this book upon knowledge that it had appeared... after I bought the First Edition and I was mid-way of reading it. I tried to find out what were the content changes, with no success, but since this is a necessary material for CSSLP certification, I bought it anyway. Now that I've finished the book, there are several issues with it.
It seems like this Second Edition of the CSSLP CBK was rushed to market. First of all, there's no place in it in which the reader can know what are the changes from the First Edition. Second, its index is massively inaccurate. Many of the topics referenced in it lead to the wrong pages. Third, section/sub-section titles are confusing. You can't tell where a list of sub-sections ends within a section.
Although (like I said) this book is necessary for CSSLP certification, ISC2 could have done better on this one. I feel like I'm giving my money away to them for this.

It's not a 3 star as I indicated. It's either 2 star on terrible quality or 4 start on good content. Author should fire the technical editors and look for a new publisher
1) A lot of good content, not a lot of depth, but still a good read.
2) Really seems to have been rushed to market - not a cheap book, would have expected much better quality.
3) 2nd edition adds the necessary chapter to cover the new BOK that was missing from first edition.
4) From presentation perspective, quite a few typographical errors. It's annoying, but doesn't diminish the overall content quality.
5) The index is absolutely useless, I can't recall if any of the dozen or times that I used it that I was ever directed to the correct page.
6) The questions at the end of the chapters are pretty good. The answers in the appendix are good as well - but not as one would expect. Quite a few are wrong, and the exercise of researching each for correctness was good learning exercise
7) If you want a book that will help prepare you for the CSSLP, this is all you have. Until something better comes along, this one will do (or more likely, this one will have to do)
