Any of the FAA stuff (Pilots Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge/Instrument Flying Handbook/PTS) can be found online if you can handle the electronic versions. Search the FAA website for them (just type the title into the search bar)

Or a few of them can be linked via:

Thanks again! I will make my decision very soon. As for the above quote is this the FAR/AIM blue book?

I couldn't find the PTS. Can anybody give me a link please? Also this is what boils down to as of now. Since I already got hooked on with Machado's book, I am going to go ahead and purchase his workbook and start doing some work. At the same time I also want to buy another book. Is the FAR/AIM and the PTS (which I have absolutely no clue of) going to be enough? In other words, if I obtained either the FAA or Gleim's book (FAR/AIM and PTS) would I still need a workbook?

Definitely buy the Gliem because it is a killer value and nothing else has what it does. Buy your PPL study book whether it be Jepp, Rod, or some other book. You'll have to have th FAR/AIM for you oral to reference if needed and the PTS just tells you what to expect during the oral/checkride. And get the aviation weather book, aviation weather services, and flying handbook which the FAA publishes. These are great even after you pass. I still use them when I can't remember a METAR or FA word.

Cheers,
