CFI textbook recommendations?

For studying for the writtens the FAA book is good. To actually learn
something useful, try Kershner. His book is the best I know of and not
as pricey as Jeppesen's.

For commercial pilots, for example, the ASA book's suggested reading
includes Part 121 but doesn't actually include it.

Does anybody know if the Jepp book is worth ~3x the ASA book or would I be
paying for a publisher's name?

Any other recommendations?

You may want to check out used books. A good place to search is
www.campusi.com
I did a quick search there and found several sources with used older
versions costing $8-$23 for Jeppesen CFI manual

If you can find a copy, I highly recommend Bill Kershner's "Flight
Instructor's Manual" third edition. Last cost I had on it was around 27
dollars.
I've used Kershner manuals throughout my tenure instructing and have
always found them to be accurate and fairly priced.

I'll second that. I began using the Kerschner manuals since about 1967
and still find info there that isn't in other books.

Hi Rock;

I actually had to dig one out yesterday for a requested quote for a
source in another thread.
Still finding use for it after all these years :-)

WOW! No kidding. I'm looking at the link now.

I'm ordering the Jeppesen AND Kershner. (Thanks, Helen)
