Opinions on interview prep books please

Just been poking round Amazon for airline interview question-&-answer prep type books, there are 3 or 4 different ones to choose from, does anyone have any experience of these things & could recommend a good one / warn me off a dodgy one?

The classic textbook is Handling The Big Jets by Davies. Once upon a time all BA pilots were issued this by the company and, as a result, it can still be found gracing the bookcases of most senior pilots.

Smile Interview material

I read: Handling The Big Jets from front to back, except the last chapter, (747) It fully prepared me for the interview. My interview questions seemed to of came straight from the book it self.

An absolutely indispensible book is "Checklist for Success" by Cheryl Cage. It is all about key event interviewing for airlines. A bit American but then so are major UK carrier's interviews. The last 3 pages are quickfire interview questions used by all airlines.
