You need an update - there have been a lot of questions added since then! Especially with Ops! Unless you can self-certify, you will need a school anyway and they will provide notes for you.

On top of that, you will find the Jeppesen books hard going for private study. Don't be tempted to get the new Jeppesen/Boeing stuff, it's awful.

Nordian used to be awful but has recently been edited by a senior instructor in the industry so will have improved, but their material still needs filling in with instruction. The CATS material is also hard going for private study.

The two alternatives left without going through a school are the padpilot books available off itunes - a little overkill but professionally done, and Phil Croucher's EASA Professional Pilot Studies. The former comes as separate books for each subject, the latter is all in one, so less expensive.
