Best textbook for Edexcel B economics?

I'm going to be doing economics this year as an extra A Level from the 2015 specification, Edexcel B.

What textbooks and revision guides would you recommend?
I was thinking of getting this one as a textbook: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Edexcel-AS-Level-Economics-2015/dp/1447990552/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1473079036&sr=1-1&keywords=economics+edexcel+a+level

Any help is appreciated :h:

Not really. I do use other resources though e.g. UpLearn. It's an online platform which allows you to select a subject and it provides revision resources designed to help you remember content, apply your knowledge using exam techniques, exam practice, mini quizzes and other useful stuff. It's a paid service but I would highly recommend it. I've been working with the teachers for the Economics course on the site. I'll give you more info, if you want it, when it goes live.

Hi!

I know it's been two years, but I'm looking for A levels Edexcel Economics B textbooks as I'll be self-studying my A Levels. The books you mentioned, were they accurate with the Economics B spec and exams?

Sorry to bother you!

Is it made for the Edexcel B specification?
