Oh OK. You like wiley’s textbooks more than becker or you’re saying that if I read wiley it will help me get more practice?
In case you're interested in looking at stores further away for the Wiley book…there's 2 reasons that I would recommend the Wiley book over the Becker book for this situation especially (the big, nearly-1000-page book, not the “focus notes” or any of the other slimmed-down versions):
1. It has lots of MCQs and SIMs in it. I pulled up the book on Amazon and it doesn't list a specific figure for REG, but says there's 3,800 MCQs for all 4 of the Wiley study guides (AUD, FAR, BEC, and REG), so I'd say around 1,000 MCQs in the REG book. Given that your Becker book only has 100, the additional MCQs alone would be valuable for internet-free studying.
2. The Wiley book is one of the most thorough book-based study resources. I've heard Gleim is pretty good, too, but haven't heard as much about it as Wiley, and only have personal experience with Wiley. The Becker book, on the other hand, seems to be more of a supplemental resource that's generally not very valuable to most people. However, that may be because they don't really give it a fair shot; you'll definitely be giving it a shot this time around! 🙂 But, based on what I've seen people saying about the Becker book, it sounds like the Wiley book would be better as a comprehensive study resource (it's only in the last couple years that Wiley has merged with CPAExcel and added videos to their lineup; before that, the books were a stand-alone course, so they're still able to be used as a stand-alone course, albeit a dry and boring one).
