Now I usually don't run published adventures and such, but I'm going to be using the Adventure Path from Dungeon as the backbone of my new campaign, and I was wondering how you guys prepare for this.

From what I'm thinking right now, I'm compling a list of all the cities (and their stats), locations and my own "free-roaming" people.

I've gotten a few adventures that I might think the players will like as breaks from the Adventure Path, but this is all ending up as a large amount of information to have.

I was thinking a notebook with tabs so I can go through it quickly... a section for maps, cities, locations, encounter ideas (outside of adventures) and then another section for each adventure with a quick, rough outline of how it goes.

Any suggestions would be great.

A binder with tabs works a lot better than a notebook. Easier to store printed materials and can be rearranged easily.

Yep, as a DM you'll have a BIG AMOUNT of infos.
Presently I am running the Adventure Path series, and my players like it. I totally skipped the Ko... Ruins, and exchanged it with the module Three days to kill , but that's another story.

For my info, I have a binder with tabs. This worked out really good for me. Tabs are: Handouts, PCs, NPCs, Maps, Special Monsters, Story, etc...

However, inside the module itself, I started using little "post-its". Small yellow notes which you can stick on the paper, without ruining the pages of the module.
There I note poison stats, reference pages, prices, etc...

You'll have to found out what works best for you yourself. Good luck, and hopefully you got a few good hints here....
