If you can afford them, Kaplan/Princeton/whatever courses are good: not so much because of the content (which you can get from the prep books themselves, and they're cheaper), but because you do practice tests in much more similar conditions (timed, with other people, in a classroom, with a proctor, etc), and get to work with other people, and also with people who have taken the test, usually pretty recently, and can help you out. Also, it's really important to review answers when you do practice tests, and in the courses, you'll actually be forced to do that and think through why you got answers right and wrong, and why the wrong answers are wrong (which is just as important as why the right answers are right).

The prep books alone are fine, but if you don't have great willpower (I don't), just studying off of them is so insular, and it's hard to get a gauge on how you're doing. Like, doing a practice test in your room just isn't the same: there's distractions, it's hard to set out a four hour (I think? It's been a while since I took one, I may be conflating my LSAT experience) chunk of time when You Shall Not Be Disturbed during which to do it, etc, etc.

If you don't have the money to do a course, sometimes schools themselves offer free ones. If that's not an option, then definitely get the books, definitely do the practice tests (as many as possible), and definitely do them somewhere other than at home. Treat it like a class on its own.
