Edexcel Physics AS Self-Study

Hello,
I am a grade 11 student who was hoping to take the AS Physics this year. Our school doesn't provide classes to grade 11 students so I have to self-study this course. I have already bought the Edexcel Student Guide but based on some reviews on this site and on amazon the guide is extremely concise and doesn't cover all the necessary info tested on the AS exam. I was wondering whether you guys have any recommendations for a reference textbook or a website that would help cover any gaps.

I was wondering whether any of these book would be enough since I already have them at home:

Amazing book! Only problem is that it doesn't have Astrophysics chapter for A2. However, a lot of the context based questions which come up in the exam are discussed in this book so it consolidates understanding and you may get lucky in the exam.
