Books
are a very important aspect of JEE preparation.Good books can do
wonders for you.Hence discussion on this topic is imperative .For
problem solving,note that it is the quality of problems that you
solve and not the quantity matters.I will list the books which I
felt were most helpful in tackling various topics.Note that
studying from study materials supplied by coaching institutes is
also very good ,provided the material is good.These materials are
often very concise and are quite helpful during revisions.
