When my sister was contemplating her LSATs she was looking at a series of books that would be running up in the hundreds. I Googled them and then did a search on www.piratebay.org and www.demonoid.com and I found about 3 to 4 books worth of material, with answers, for her.
To those who are locked in financial constraints, this might be a good option.

Woww, I'm sure not a lot of people know about that too. It's good if you're comfortable reading from a screen for extended periods of time - or have a lot of ink and paper to print on.  |

Yeah, it's pretty sweet. A lot of solutions manuals were on there too!
Apparently though, it's harder to read/proof-read things on screen. But since LSAT books are ridiculously expensive, it's a good option for people with financial constraints.

When you are studying off a screen (and even off paper), it's important to allow your eyes to "exercise". Look away from the screen every 30-45 minutes at objects that are far away. Otherwise you will strain your eyes because they are focused at the same object for several hours. Then you'll have trouble focusing and it'll hurt. It REALLY hurts, trust me it's not something you want to do though.

Yeahh, and it can be dangerous for your body too. If you're not sitting in a proper position, you can hurt your neck or back even. Ergonomic chairs are super expensive too.
