You can also buy the JAA books from Sporty's or a variety of other sources. Or of course do like palgia says and do the JAA ground online and take the real exams.

Hate to make this jab--but there would be about half as many JAA pilots if it weren't for the US's support of a very active general aviation sector, which wouldn't be as active or widespread if we made all our local yocals go through all that ground training just to fly.

The best training would probably be something b/t the JAA and the FAA--the FAAs emphasis on building a good single-pilot PIC knowledge be darned, with the JAAs more academic technical emphasis (i.e. they don't care as much if you can fly the plane, more about you being able to describe the plane sitting in a chair on the ground).
