If you also want a very good revision book...get this (below), it covers all the specifications and is very good at teaching you the key points and in the exam you can just expand on it.

Yeh i use the Alain Anderton one and its brilliant. It goes into a bit more detail then you need for as-level but is very good. I thought it was just for OCR, but he might have written one for Edexel.

I hated the Anderton book which is why I went out and bought the hienemann one.

No it isnt, but it should include all the stuff you need for edexcel.
