A.i.m.
I am about to start flight training and a lot of books I read about aeronautics mention the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) I was wondering if I should look into downloading the book? (because I'm definitely not buying it. Talk about EXPENSIVE!) will I need it as a pilot?

You will definitely need a hard copy of the AIM for reference. AIM is usually sold together with the FAR's in front. Here is a copy of the FAR/AIM for $12.55 + Shipping. 2011 FAR/AIM Book - ASA - MyPilotStore.com

Yep ASA has one for around 12 free shipping if I recall correctly. You will definitely need a hard copy. At times, it may not be a fun read 
but it has all the rules of the game you need to know. Good luck!
