Default I don't need English usage or/and grammar books

I don't need English usage or/and grammar books because I have a good English tutor.

Should it be 'or' or 'an'? I think it should be 'and'.

Thanks.

Your sentence sounds fine to me.

You could say:

I don't need English usage and grammar books because I have a good English tutor.
