Whats the best A+ book to get that has all the new stuff in it?

I know that there is some guy working on the "A+ Fast Pass", which I don't think has come out yet. I'm looking now for online tutorials and books for the upcoming exams, and that's all I've found so far.
 
when I got mine (May last year) I really liked the preplogic books. Nicely laid out, in depth, and quizzes at the end of each section + practice tests on CD
