Good but dry
By Bryon Hundley
I bought this book as a text book for a grad school class. The information in this book is a lot like that of the CISSP "a mile wide and an inch deep." The information given in the book covers a wide range of topics for wireless security, everything from wireless security policies to wireless security tools. This book is exactly what it is a certification prep study guide and seems to do a decent job of trying to prepare the reader for the CWSP. However if I did not have to buy this book I wouldn't for learning about wireless security and exploits. I'd choose a book specifically geared for wireless penetration testing and exploitation.

The New Wi-Fi Security Reference Book
By Devin Akin
If you don't own it, buy it now. This is the new Wi-Fi security reference book. As the head of Wi-Fi training and certification for Aerohive Networks, I've put this book, as well as the new CWNA Study Guide by the same authors, into every instructor-led class student kit. Additionally, all technical employees at Aerohive will receive one of these books (as soon as they're finished reading the CWNA book). I know each of these authors/editors personally, and you won't find a more experienced bunch of Wi-Fi professionals. Wi-Fi administration and security is what they do...it's all they do. I think I bought the first 40 copies, and I plan on buying hundreds more. This is the one - just buy it.

Excellent guide to Wireless LAN security....
By Stephen Newson
CWSP study guide is a must-read for any wireless professional working in the complex world of wireless Lan design, management and implementation of wireless applications. The authors have created a functional and detailed go-to reference book on a complex subject. Whilst the CWSP book is essential to individuals looking to obtain the CWSP certification; any wireless professional would benefit from having this book in their technical reference library.
I have the pleasure of working with Shawn Jackman and David Coleman for a number of years. Both bring a wealth of knowledge and - most importantly - real world experience to the table. I highly recommend this book for anyone responsible for managing, designing or troubleshooting wireless infrastructure.
You will not be disappointed by purchasing this book; CWSP study guide will become invaluable and dog-eared, in your day to day life as a wireless professional.
