Service Manual>Chilton>Haynes
I got my FSM'* for about $50 shipped off ebay - just gotta know where to look and get the timing right. Otherwise, for basic stuff a Chilton'* will be just fine.

Would the FSM for the 97 SE apply to the 96 LeSabre too?

For shear usability, ease of information, the chilton is miles easier then the FSM'*. For most repairs and maintenance, i use the chiltons, but the FSM is a reference for sure, and very valuble on highly detailed knowledge.
If you're just wanting it to know how to do PCV swaps, maybe gasket work, water pump, a chiltons should be plenty.

FYI, Haynes publishes the GM service manual(*)! Or at least used to. Now it'* all online on Service Information in Dealerworld, so I don't know if it'* Haynes or Helms anymore.

Chilton'* is good for 90% of what you need. #28200.
FSM'* can be purchased new from www.helminc.com
They are the publisher.
