Which book for reading comprehension?

For eg Veritas talks about the connecting factors between passages in a separate section whereas Manhattan has in scattered all around. So is it a good idea to get both?

More or less both talk about same. Yes veritas says to keep track of connectors, but MGMAT says it in different way like read first whole para carefully, then read first sentence of each para carefully and skim rest. By skimming they mean to look for connectors or red flag words.
Major difference is Veritas has good number of tough questions, MGMAT discussed strategy to handle Passage but lack sufficient no of questions.

When is the nxt veritas challenge going to take place ? Hope to win a Veritas RC guide

I used MGMAT RC guide. For the price, you get CATs, Q Banks as well. Not sure if Veritas book comes with online pratice questions.
