I got 501 russian verbs too. I rarely use it tho. I also got "Take Off in Russian" the book is shit, but it comes with 4 hours of audio, I only listen to the CDs.

My list:

New Pinguin Russian Course
Take off in Russian (Oxford)
501 Russian Verbs
Concise Russian Dictionary (Its big, i like 'em big )
Collins Gem Russian Dictionary
200 Km/h In the Wrong Lane CD
