Books in Manhattan Review Turbocharge Your GMAT series
Manhattan Review’s origin can be traced directly to an Ivy-League MBA classroom in 1999. While lecturing on advanced quantitative subjects to MBAs at Columbia Business School in New York City, Dr. Joern Meissner was asked by his students to assist their friends, who were frustrated with conventional GMAT preparation options. He started to create original lectures that focused on presenting the GMAT content in a coherent and concise manner rather than a download of voluminous basic knowledge interspersed with so-called "tricks". The new approach immediately proved highly popular with GMAT students, inspiring the birth of Manhattan Review.
Highly-acclaimed Manhattan Review Turbocharge Your GMAT preparation materials include about 600 pages of well-illustrated and professionally presented strategies and originally written problems for both the Verbal Section and Quantitative Section, 200 pages of detailed solutions, and more than 300 pages of internally developed Quantitative Glossary and Verbal Vocabulary List with detailed definitions, related words and sentence examples. The detailed breakdown of exclusive practice problems per category is 40+ Reading Comprehension passages, 60 Critical Reasoning questions, 250 Sentence Correction questions, and 300+ Quantitative questions.
Since its founding, Manhattan Review has grown into a multi-national educational services firm, focusing on GMAT preparation, consulting services for business school admissions, and executive coaching programs for young business professionals. It has a network of highly satisfied customers all over England, continental Europe and the US. The original lectures have been expanded and modified by the Manhattan Review Team, a group of master test-takers and experienced business coaches, to assure that Manhattan Review offers the most time-efficient and cost-effective preparation available for the GMAT.

The difference between Kaplan Advance and Kaplan GMAT Premier 2009 (with CD-Rom) is that Kaplan Advance does not come with a CD-Rom, but includes all the difficult questions from Kaplan GMAT Premier 2009. Kaplan GMAT Premier 2009 comes in two versions: 1 with CD-Rom, the other without. Between the two Kaplan GMAT Premier 2009 versions, make sure to get the books that include the practice CD-Rom. They're only about $15 more expensive than the books without the CD-Rom and the practice tests are definitely worth it! Here we only include the CD-Rom version.
Two things set Kaplan's book apart from the Princeton's Review's book. First, Kaplan's book tends to focus on methodical ways of doing problems whereas the Princeton Review's book looks more at shortcuts for solving problems. Which one you choose depends on your personal preference for solving problems. If you're the type who likes a step-by-step method for each problem, Kaplan is the book for you. On the other hand, if you would rather skip all that and just learn the quickest way to find the answer, the Princeton Review's book might be more suited to you.
The other main difference is the difficulty of the practice exams included with the book on a CD-Rom. Kaplan's practice tests tend to be more difficult than the actual exam while the Princeton Review's tests are a little easier. Again, which one you choose is a matter of personal preference as to how high you want to see yourself scoring before the real thing.
A few things set Manhattan Review’s books apart from Kaplan’s and Princeton Review’s books. First, Manhattan Review incorporates extensive GMAT vocabulary lists into its verbal books and a complete list of GMAT Quantitative Glossary into its math books. These lists serve as the initial springboards before you delve into the heart of preparation. Second, Manhattan Review’s books are very well organized.

Questions are also arranged in order by type and difficulty level. Definitely worth checking out the series!
