Can anyone recommend any books with verbal reasoning tests they have found useful?
Many thanks

the Bond assessment books they sell in WHSmith are good; Bond have a website with sample papers too. In fact WHSmith and Waterstone's sell a huge range of VR and NVR books.

Bond Assessment Papers, as far as I recall, are the ones most frequently used.

Bond assessment here too.

We liked their ten minute tests in the run up to the entrance exam time. They seemed just enough without overkill. We did start on the longer ones but once they'd mastered the different types of puzzle, practise was all they needed.

Obit this week of the lady who originated them, Myra Bond who was for many years Headmistress of Avalon School Wirral:
