Are there any books that cover all of the content of Quantitative and Verbal parts of GMAT? It does not have to be detailed or intense. And it does not have to contain practice questions. I just need to study content from them. Something like summary, pointing out the important parts of each section etc.

1. GMAT for Dummies

2. McGraw-Hill's GMAT, 2011 Edition

3. Kaplan has loads of content with varying degrees of content - go through it and see which ones suit you here.

I realize that you may not want to spend the time to go through a couple books, but I think it might be better to do things well the first time rather than having to go back and fix things later. That said, I think that you may be better off buy a collection of books (like the Manhattan series) that discuss each part of the test in some detail.

Yeah the MGMAT set of 8 guides, 4th edition is, by general consensus, your best bet. If you can get past the one book thing and the price ofcourse.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
