I had my diagnostic test without much preparation@ 430 which is a very low score. I'm planning on getting somewhere between 650-700. Due to the time I spent in starting questions in both the sections, I had to mark the last 4-5 questions on both Verbal and Quant section without even looking at the questions. I'm planning to appear for Gmat again after 3-4 months.
I'm particularly weak in Quant so I want a book which basic principles along with the questions on the same topic.
Can you guys please suggest me a book or series which meets my requirements.
Thanks in advance.

That score on the diagnostic test taken "without much preparation" is not worth much. That experience was just to get your feet wet. A diagnostic test is not necessary for everyone.
Now 3-4 months is a decent amount of time to fully prepare. You have the time to go through each and every single topic in all sections. I recommend doing this before jumping into mock tests, solving random problems, etc. You can help your preparation by making things very systematic.
As for quant books, there are numerous books available. This is a very old subject that is tested on many standardized exams around the world. Look for books titled "Quantitative" for "entrance exams" or similar wording. They will all discuss in depth the same topics that are tested on the GMAT and other tests. Also look at high school and lower-level math textbooks.
Go through the books thoroughly. Revise topics even if you feel you know them. Solve some problems untimed and then do timed sets, Repeat the entire process several times. If all of this is done sincerely, you will get a good score. This score will likely not have any connection to the diagnostic test score. GL!
