finals40,
Definitely don't scrimp on this. Be prepared for the fact that flying's £££ and get yourself the complete set of books. When you finish your training keep hold of your books and don't sell them; I'm always referring to mine. I think most others would agree and that's why it's hard to find someone to sell you their's.
By all means get the confuser as it's really helpful for exam preparation but, as said by others, don't use it to learn. I don't understand why some people are so keen to cut corners on learning the theoy and pass with the absolute minimums. One guy who was doing his PPL with me was actually annoyed with himself when he got over 80% in an exam. He said that meant he'd spent too much time studying! I couldn't believe it
