Gleim test prep books are what I used for both my private pilot and later my AP tests. I got high 90's to 100% on every FAA test I have ever taken with only using these test "prep" books the week before taking each test. Every question possible on the FAA tests are in these books and they make it easy peasy. I do not think I "bought" any other books for my Private.

I got my Private in about 2 months total time in 1994 for $2500 total cost by flying as often as possible in the cheapest plane the local airport had to rent (a Cessna 150). No need to pay for "ground school" so long as the instructor spends a bit of time "teaching" on the ground pre or post flights. I think I had 47 hours of total time logged to get my private. The more frequently you fly, the fewer hours you will require training. The minimum required is 20 hrs dual + 20 hrs solo = 40 hrs total. People who drag it out over a year or two usually require many more hours of expensive plane rental and instruction fees.
