Great info from everyone else so far. Be extremely wary of "course textbooks", as they tend to suck you in and make you ignore all the resources that are used to compile the information in the first place. The Practical Test Standards (another publication you should be very familiar with) has a list of all the valid references for a checkride, and any of the resources there are public domain, such as the handbooks mentioned earlier, advisory circulars, regulations, etc., so there's little need to "buy" anything, although printing some of them out is recommended. I've never much cared for the Jepp type pre-packaged courses that try to teach you completely out of one book. I've seen more than one person get totally tripped up on a checkride because they never actually had to look up the information for "real" and use the actual resource. Good luck though, it looks like you are being pointed in the right direction.
