Which AQA A2 Psychology A text book?

Hi, currently deciding which A2 text book to get for psychology since my teacher only gives us terrible photocopies of multiple different books.

I have narrowed it down to two books:

Nelson Thornes A2 AQA Psychology A: http://www.amazon.co.uk/AQA-Psychology-A2-Students-Book/dp/0748798250

Collins Psychology A2 for AQA A: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Psychology-A2-Level-AQA/dp/0007255047/ref=pd_rhf_dp_s_cp_1_ER8T?ie=UTF8&refRID=0RYZ6NEWMNM6NA1ERD57

If anybody has any experience of either book or could give me some general advice on which one to get that would be just great. :biggrin:

Oh and if it helps in PSYA3 we are doing Biological Rhythms and Sleep, Aggression and Relationships. In PSYA4 we are doing Addiction and Depression.

Thanks, Will.

I would go for Nelson Thornes because it is exclusively endorsed by AQA so you know you will be covering everything on the spec. It is also very detailed so its practically the only resource you will need to refer to.

i don't use either of those textbooks but i think the Nelson Thornes one will be best as it is made for AQA so i guess it will have everything you need in it
