Pump Q?

So we registered today for the Medea handsfree electric pump. I feel totally clueless. I know it is expensive at 399 but I will be headin back to work around 8 weeks and would still like to pump and give my baby breast milk. This is my first baby and plan on more so I hope it is a good purchase. Is there a good book or something online that will teach me more about breast feeding? I have so many questions! Is the pump I registered for a good pump? Any tips or ideas for me? My baby is due in June! Thanks y'all!
