Raghuveer (who seems to be a great TestMagic ambassador ) is pointing you in the right direction.

These two books are fine, but there's no substitute for a good dictionary. Personally, I have N-E-V-E-R used a vocab-building book for English or for any other language I've studied, although they are somewhat useful for GRE or SAT.

i am also interested in "Peterson's Toefl Reading/Grammar flash 2002"books and i need your advice.

You know, I have to be very careful about talking about the quality of a book. You will notice on the page Raghuveer told you about, I don't have any negative reviews. This is because, well, I don't want to make anybody angry. You can assume, then, if the book is not listed, then I cannot recommend it.

I am familiar with most or all of the Peterson's test prep books, and have many of them in our library at TestMagic. None of my students ever look at them.

HTH!!
