Best Books Recommended for GMAT

Question

I would like to apologize in advance because I am sure someone asked this question before.

I am planning on taking the GMAT February 2015. I have been looking online all day today for GMAT Books for self prep. There are so many books available and I have no clue which one will be the best. 
Can you please recommend which books are the best for preparing for the GMAT.

Thank you for your time.

While books can be great, we would encourage you explore the option of studying online. After all, the actual test is in front of a computer and if you are used to studying from a book, you may be in for a slight adjustment/surprise on test day.

To get more familiar with the test, we recommend taking online practice tests such as the one we provide -- and also just casual studying through question banks including our Practice Pill Platform: www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-test/

Use the online resources in conjunction with your books -- OG + GMATPrep -- and you should be good to go.
