Ditto B&B on the nursing - it is definitely no picnic the first few weeks, so don't make any decisions until at least a month in. LLL has a good book. Also, check out www.kellymom.com and www.breastfeeding.com.
If any one suggests Babywise to you - Google "Ezzo" and see what you get. It's not good.
I also liked Weisbluth - lots of research in there. I also got The Baby Whisperer - claims a non-CIO way to get your kid to sleep. It may actually work for some babies, but not mine and WILL make you feel horribly guilty if you need to use CIO at all - like you are scarring your kid for life.

I agree with the tall one about the Mayo book - way too general. Babywise is useful for the ~3-hr cycle, but otherwise alarming. The Baby Whisperer annoyed the shit out of me (and brought me to tears at one low point) - but I started feeling better when I realized that her main qualifications appear to be that she (a) is British and (b) has worked for celebrities in LA.
