RECOMMENDED AP WORLD HISTORY REVIEW BOOKS
There is a countless number of prep book brands you can buy, so it can be a bit confusing for someone who is new to the world of AP to find the one that is right for them. Not to say that there aren't any other helpful books out there besides these, but, these three books, in particular, have earned the respect of many AP takers by their varying levels of thoroughness, descriptiveness, and clarity. Most of these books can be purchased at Barnes and Noble's or Amazon. Don't forget to check your local library, as well (Bayonne Public Library, especially) in their Test Prep/Occupational/Career Books Sections.
It is also rumored that an AP prep book or two could be found lingering on the bookshelves of the LMC, so it is certainly worth a look!
