Ben, I have not started my comm yet, however, I have read Kershner' book.
I believe this is what you seek.

The Advanced Pilot's Flight Manual
Seventh Edition
By: William K Kershner (Flight Instructor )
ISBN: 081380260
Published by: ISUP
Description
The Advanced Pilot's Flight Manual, in its seventh edition, continues to bridge the gap between theory and practical application in airplane performance. When pilots know the principles of performance, they can readily understand the effects of altitude, temperature, and other variables of airplane operation.
The material in this book includes answers to questions frequently asked by pilot's interested in details of airplane performance. The seventh edition is thoroughly updated and examines in greater depth the basics of flight instruments and navigation. Some maths is included to allow the aspiring professional pilot to better understand the basics of airplane performance and other factors that affect the operation of a particular plane.
TopTable of Contents
Part 1) Airplane Performance and Stability for Pilots
Part 2) Checking Out in Advanced Models and Types
Part 3) Emergencies and Unusual Situations
Part 4) Advanced Navigation
Part 5) High-Altitude Operations
Part 6) Preparing for the Commercial Knowledge and Practical Tests

My $.02 on the Jepp Inst/Commercial manual.Everskyward said:
For instrument it is great, very detailed and thorough with good explinations. But the commercial part of it is really just an after thought and is very information lite.

Aww shucks, I should never use that word ("hate"). It was late at night. Actually, I do think the commercial section of the book is good. I guess I just wanted to try something different.

I should say that I've barely skimmed the Jepp Instrument/Commercial book but there was a picture of me and the airplane I flew years ago in the Commercial section. It may have been changed by now in a new edition, but I have (or had) a vested interest. Kinda sorta.

Better than Unisom.
I know they're the "standard" and probably good for future airline types as they'll have to do a lot of that sort of reading in the future, but I much prefer the Machado books. More information ("real-world" as well as just "textbook") and some really neat tips and tricks. Too bad he doesn't really have any advanced ones, as I too am looking for a good Comm book.

I used the ASA comm prep for my written. Read through the book and took a few practice tests over a three week period. I got a 90 on the test. It was pretty easy.

I agree, he should do a commercial book. His PP manual is great. I remember having such a hard time remembering all the airspace limitation when I was in primary training. I got his book and he had one picture that made it all clear.
