Cool, thanks for the tips. I don't have the list yet, but I've heard estimates. UConn actually has a message board set up for new admits, with current students available to answer questions; cost of books has been one of the topics.
I'm definitely planning on going the amazon/half.com route as much as possible, but I didn't realize about the resources on Lexis and Westlaw. Thanks for the ideas.
