Best idiom book so far that I know is cambridge idiom book. While reading dawn, especially editorial piece of write-up, keep the book with yourself aside when you confronted with any idiom, make it rectangular with pencil and at the last search them into the idiom book altogether. Tick the idiom in the book, if possible jot it down in a separate big register. Keep this practice for two months and I assure you that you gonna be at ease with incorporating idiomatic language in your own sentences. Thus, if you do so, at the eleventh hour your preparation, you would fly in your expression. If things go like this then must keep remember me in your prayers.

Regards

If you want to squander your time, then go for "IDIOMS" by Judith Siefring!!!!!

Reason?
It is a bit ambiguous and does not contain interesting information on the origin & background of the idioms. Whereas, Chamber Dictionary of Cambridge is crystal clear and it is more easer yet advanced & updated unlike Anglo Oxford press and other local dictionaries. If you have master card, you can purchase its app software from amazon and other website as well
.

Again choice is yours, but I will strongly recommend you the one I used to.

Hehe lolx greenboat say whatever you want. Meri posts pe criticize krna tmhari adat hai so continue. Agar me ne cambridge ka naam liya hota tum ne us me bhi 100 keere nikalne the.
Btw This book remained highly recommended book for css pms idioms and phrases for long time, even today you can find the idioms appeared in css 2017 english paper in this book. Rest depends on the user what he/she wants because there is no end to knowledge and no book can fulfil criteria set by you

1. Read Dawn carefully and note down important idioms and phrasal verbs.
2. Go into past papers to solve idioms and phrasal verbs.
3. Consult Exploring the World of English Grammar by Saadat Ali Shah.
