Amazon.co.uk: To be an Airline Pilot (To Be a): Andrew Cook: Books
The link above is to a book that i've read.
Its about the author, and his time from zero to the completion of his IR at Flight Training Europe in Jerez. Its an ok read, gives you a good idea of each of the 14 ATPL ground exams and subject content, and examples of what to expect when carrying out your CPL and IR training.
If I remember correctly it also gives you a bit of information about CV techniques and ideas for getting that first job
