Am thinking of buying this book since it seems to be the only one of it's type.

Question: Which one is the latest edition?

Is it this: http://www.pooleys.com/prod_detail.cfm?product_id=1163&PageNum_rs_product=2&product_category_id=26&product_sub_category_id=160

or this: http://www.transair.co.uk/product4.asp?SID=2&Product_ID=759

??

Any other suggestions of good books for mid-career pre-interview brushing up? :)

I believe the most recent edition has an United 757 on the front page.
The older edition (orange sunset colour) includes helicopter studies as well.

Found this question bank on the editor's website

Any good ?

The blue one is indeed the latest one - I guess the guys just haven't updated their web sites yet!

If you get it, let me know what you think - always looking for ways to improve it!

BTW, the "old" orange one does not have helicopters in now - it was just getting too large so I split the books up and there is a separate helicopter book now. The blue one (with the 757) is about 40 pages larger. The ones available cheap on ebay is just the remainder from a rather large print run! That was the version that the guy from BALPA Log reviewed and liked - the blue one is just better.

Currently reading this book to have a better understanding of my ATPL exams before I invest my savings into a 0-fATPL course.

Seems pretty good reading so far and I feel I am understanding the concepts, as opposed to just trying to memorise information and figures a few weeks before sitting my 14 exams.

Gets a thumbs up from me.

Thanks Alphamale - a hint:

Everything in italics has to do with an exam question, which would explain the occasional bad english!
