Good AP English Language Books?

<p>Are there any book available that offer writing techniques for specific types of papers? My writing, itself, isn't too much of a problem, but I think I would feel more confident -- not to mention less rushed -- if I knew exactly how to approach writing certain essays (whether the essay asks you to compare two passages, analyze literary elements, etc.). Do you guys know of any good books for this? Thanks!</p>

<p>Bump...</p>

<p>Should I just get CliffsAP English Language?</p>
