Archaic Torso of Apollo

I've neglected my piano playing recently and want to get back into it. I think exercises would be a good way to start again.

Would anyone like to recommend an exercise book that is suitable for an intermediate-level player who hasn't played in a while?

I know many who aren't but I'm a fan of the Charles Hanon exercises entitled "The Virtuoso Pianist"

Let the Czerny v. Hanon games begin:

I've found a site where I can download Hanon exercises for free, so that might be a good place to start. Meanwhile, any thoughts on this book?
