Hello, sjain263, and welcome to GMAT Club. I saw your query in the chat, but by chance, I also came across it here, and I like to write lengthier posts than a chat generally provides.
1. There is a lot of overlap between the Manhattan Prep books. The thicker "All the ____" guides are newer, condensed versions of the older, separate guides. A Manhattan Prep instructor told me last year that the new version is every bit as good as the old.
2. The two sources you mentioned are completely different types of books. Those published by GMAC™ provide additional questions (official, of course) that you do not get from the main OG. The Manhattan Prep guides discuss strategies to tackle questions. As such, you could use both sets of books without any useless overlap: they go together quite well.
I hope that helps with your queries. Good luck with your studies.

Hi sjain263,
AndrewN has provided a proper description of how those books vary from one another, so I won't rehash any of that here.
Based on your initial post, it sounds as though you are thinking about taking a "book heavy" study approach. Unfortunately, many people who study in that way end up getting 'stuck' at a particular Score level. Even the best books are limited in what they can teach you; they also can't force you to approach questions in a certain way and their explanations are often one-sided. In addition, while the OG books are great sources for practice questions, they're not designed to teach you Tactics, patterns or the little 'secrets' behind the GMAT - for those, you'll need Course-oriented materials.
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) Have you put in any notable study time yet? If you have, then how many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials do you currently have access to?
3) Have you taken any CATs/mocks yet? If you have, then how did you score?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
