At the risk of becoming flame bait, let me offer that there are appropriate
tools for appropriate tasks.
I am not so sure that Caslow, Perlman, or Halabi are the best way to spend
one's time preparing specifically for the CCIE written. I am not so sure
that reading RFC's is the best preparation for the written either.
The written is geared towards examination of protocol behaviour. There are
lots of questions that are based on an understanding of how various
protocols function. OSI comes into play in that it forms a basis for
referencing those operations.
I took the written shortly after taking the CID exam. My recollection is
that there was more than just a coincidental similarity between the two.
My own advice is use the blueprint on CCO as your basis for forming your
reading list. But don't get carried away thinking you need to read every
book referenced there. Some are more appropriate for lab preparation. Some
are interesting reading, but short on information you will find useful in
either the written or the lab.

Your missing websites in your list. There are a lot of sites that provide
CCIE Written materials, like xx_www.boson.com_xx, www.ccprep.com and others.
Just my $.02

Hello group,
I would like people's opinion of the following titles for the CCIE 'Written'
(not lab)
CCIE Routing and Switching Exam Cram
by Thomas M., II Thomas, Henry Benjamin
CCIE: Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert Study Guide
by John Swartz, et al
All-in-One CCIE Study Guide
by Roosevelt Giles
CCIE Prep Kit 350-001 Routing and Switching (Exam Guide)
CCIE Routing and Switching Exam Prep

I'm already going to add Caslow, Doyle, Halabi, Perlman, Clark(Lan
Switching) to my collection.
I'm not looking for the ultimate guide, just want to weed out the bad ones
to make a good choice.
Thanks
Albert
