Flight Instructors Manual by R. D. Campbell seems to be the bible. ISBN 1-898567-05-0. You can get it from Transair, £32.50.
In fact I think if you click on that banner at the top of the page, you can get it there (do I get a commission, Transair?)
Cheers DB6
When it says Transair, anyway, not Global-Oriental

As mentioned above RD Campbell. However if you have your own PPL books by Trevor Thom et al and maybe even PPSC or AP3456 series you will be quids in. Your school should give sensible advice, if not they are ripping you off. How much are they charging you? A good school will include it in the price and send it to you about a month before starting their course!

Check out what book the organisation you are going to do the rating at will want you to use before shelling out once then maybe again when you start your course.
I was made to buy the Woodgate manual (good enough) but never used it again after the course. Make sure what ever you buy reflects the new syllabus changes.
You'll find that once you get let lose on unsuspecting students you will use info gleened from a few different sources of literature, not just one. Knowing what a tight wad you are, I might even lend you mine!
Squeeeeeeeel boy!

Xena has it exactly right- get the CPL books out, and start reading them again. During the oral part of the test, the examiner can ask you about anything, and expect an answer up to ATPL level. Practice drawing how the innards of all the instruments work, and be ready to expplain all kinds of weird and wonderful stuff.
I got lucky- when I was doing my AFI course, we had weeks of bad weather, and I had nothing else to do but keep studying!
