Best exam book for Series 79 and Series 63?

Hi all, hoping to leverage some of the older more experienced analysts/associates on this site - what are some of the better known books / practice guides for the Series 79 and 63? Additionally, if anyone has any thoughts on the timeline for time it takes between studying and taking the exam that would be appreciated too. Looking for some guidance.

Thanks and enjoy the long weekend everyone.

Sorry for the late reply. I had an intern do the research on what the internet consensus was and he came back with K&M and Kaplan.. and I made a judgement call with the more dedicated provider (as in FINRA focus only). It's costly but I could expense - the material is top notch. the valuation items come straight from the sacred Joshua rosenbaum/joshua pearl IB book. This may or may not be helpful to you. Customer service is good too.
