I use my own casebook, and I will be using the 2013 edition, which I used in the Fall of 2013. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE PROPER EDITION. As soon as the bookstore has received it (it has to be printed out by Faculty Services), you can purchase it at the bookstore. In past years it cost approximately $45.
Second, you can download the entire book and print it out. If you do print it out yourself, you might try to take advantage of the double-sided feature that many printers (particularly laser printers) have. Not only will some laser printers do it automatically, but even single-sided printers (like the HP Laserjet 1200) will permit you to print out all the odd pages, and then print the even pages in reverse order, so if you stick the odd pages back in the printer (with the correct side facing toward the toner cartridge) it will print the other side. If you buy your copy at the bookstore, they will save you all that trouble (hence it costs a bit more). It's completely your choice. I also prefer having the book in loose-leaf form, 3-hole punched to fit in a notebook, and then I carry around that portion of the casebook that I am working on, leaving the rest of it on my shelf. Some people prefer to have the whole thing bound, and that’s fine too.
Third, you can go entirely electronic and download the electronic version to your computer so that you have the entire text available to you, and you don’t have to lug around the paper version. There are also electronic links from the text. (You will need access to Westlaw before they work, however.)
For the first day of class, please read the Introduction (pp. vii through xvi), and be prepared to answer the questions on p. x.
