Good, concise books on Tudors

Hey,
I'm going to start AS Levels in a couple of months and am going to study history. Since The Tudors will be on my curriculum, I was just wondering if anyone knows of any good, concise but fairly comprehensive books detailing the period in order to prep me for the next year. I really only want to read one book about it because I have a few novels and such to read for English and I don't have enough time to read more than one book about the Tudors. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks very much,
Max

OP
Um... Henry VII, Henry VIII, Mary, Edward, Elizabeth. The standards really. Also, quite a bit about The Reformation I think.
Access to History: In Depth books are great - they're tiny and designed for A levels.

Elizabeth I and the Government of England

Elizabeth I: v. 1: Religion and Foreign Affairs

Edward VI and Mary: A Mid-Tudor Crisis?

Henry VIII and the Government of England

Henry VIII and the Reformation in England

I know that's quite a few books, but they're really short - only about 150 pages each. A good alternative would be to get your course textbook and read that ahead of time.

I got this from my teacher.
Though the access to history ones are far more in depth.
