First of all go to the edexcel official site which is www.edexcel.com and select "Qualifications", then select "GCE from 2008" under "GCE", then select "Biology" under "Subjects", then select "Resources" under "Overview" on the left-hand side of the page, then look at the resouces available for AS Biology- there is this AS Student's book with Free Activebook and also a revision guide available. These books are distributed by Edexcel so get the barcode number of those of your interest and buy them from where they are available in your country.

Also download the specification which is available on the site itself.

GOOD LUCK!!

According to my friends,

The Hodder Education book for Biology is NOT helpful.

The one from Edexcel by Ann Fullick is amazing.
