I'm a private pilot with 80 hours, starting to look ahead for my Instrument training and my instructor has suggested that my limited money might be best spent practicing maneuvers, approaches, and cross country time under the hood with a safety pilot before starting official training. Sounds great, but I would love a better understanding of the approaches and maneuvers before I even do that so Im looking for some good IFR study materials to help me get started from the basics. There are plenty of books and resources out there to pick from but Im on a limited budget and cant buy them all, so I'm looking for input on which ones you guys have thought to be the best. I'm looking for something that gives me an intro to IFR flying and a great jumpstart for flight training.

Appreciate the help!
