I find it amazing that people can comment of these books when they: a) haven't read them, and b) don't know their purpose. Please read Simon Gray's previous response to this issue. Mark Maher CISSP, CPA, GCIA, GCIH Security and Risk Management Ochsner Clinic Foundation

For that amount of money I think you could buy a whole library of books on a specific subject or a broader range of subjects and get the perspective of different authors that would probably be much more valuable. You can check out my Top Security Book Picks for ideas (http://netsecurity.about.com/cs/toppicks/tp/topbooks.htm) I can't see what they could possibly put into a book or CD that would make it worth $500 plus.

Of course I have not read the books so these are just my personal comments. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
