Much appreciated,

I know a textbook, but it isn't aimed at a specific exam board. It's the Collins Advanced Science - Physics, Third edition.

Thanks, but I was trying to look for something more specific. Are CGP any good?

Cambridge Physics 1 seems alright.
And regarding CGP guides, I always find them useful in some way, either was it at GCSE or now for AS, especially for sciences.

At AS Physics nobody really recommend the CGP books, my head of Science who teaches physics recommended the Collins ones as they are very detailed and contain AS and A2.
