Flight schools don't usually include books and equipment in their PPL course prices. You will normally need to buy all that stuff yourself. Ask your school for a list of recommended equipment. They should be able to tell you the best stuff to get, and it will most likely include the Air Pilot's Manuals or the AFE equivalent (check Whopity's links).
Are you flying at EFG?
EDIT: It's always amazes me how people manage to reply so quickly on pprune!
