Glad to hear you found it. You can even purchase it via amazon or Barnes and Nobles. Just practice a lot and read a lot. That'll really help with verbal. Also here are sources that are useful and have often been thrown around on the forum:

NY Times The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia
Scientific American Science News, Articles and Information | Scientific American <even better if you can get hold of the paper issue>
Arts& Letters Daily Arts & Letters Daily - ideas, criticism, debate
The Economist
The New Yorker
...etc.

Just read consistently every day and you'll be building your vocab and RC without even knowing it. It's hard to improve verbal but it can be done. Get exposed to LOTS of questions and visit this forum often. That's my experience with prepping for verbal. Hope that helps!
