I use the following books as additional resources to prepare my students for the AP exam. The first two books below are written by experienced teachers that are also actual AP Physics Readers. This gives the authors particular insight into the approaches to topics and problem solving that will be most helpful to students.
These books are by far the best in the market!

AP PHYSICS B 2004 or 2005  Edition : An Apex Learning Guide
by Connie Wells and Hugh Henderson
ISBN: 0743241274

Includes:
- In-depth coverage of all the material on the exam
- Review of key terms and important equations
- 2 full-length practice tests with complete explanations
for every question

Available from Amazon, I do not recommend the 06/07 edition!
