It would consist of the Private, Commercial, and CFI Practical Test Standards. Just go to the source. You can download them from FAA website, better yet buy the printed copies that ASA puts out. Honestly, this is the only realistic gouge there is for this checkride. It is a thorough checkride and the PTS is the reference on what you need to know.
For books I like this guy's list
Darren CFI. These items would be a starting point only, to be supplemented with textbooks you used for your ratings and certs. I also keep a video collection that helps to recall certain topics. My favorite vidoes are by Richard Collins, AOPA, and Sportys although I have something from most of the major instructional academies.
