The contests are OVER! Thanks very much to everyone for playing!

Draconomicon. Amazing book that has helped me even more with a campaign that was going to have a strong Dragon focus...now I've got some MORE great ideas for the game.

Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting.
Love the setting. Never get tired of reading the book. A wealth of ideas for adventuring.

While I realize the game (and the company) has a bad reputation, the Rifts core book from Palladium is one of my favorites. It has such a wealth of interesting ideas, and I have always liked the combination of tech and magic that is in that system/setting.

The Midnight Campaign Setting---I just got it & its really sparked some creativity----I've got to take my Daughter on a trip to my mom's this weekend, so, while I wont be able to play in any more contests this weekend, I will be workin on my midnight game----

BTW, for the next game I'll choose #16---had to try

I love my d20 Toolbox by AEG. For quite a few reasons, actually. I think the thing that convinced me to buy it, though, is that there's actually a table to determine a random pickled product. Really, how could anyone not enjoy rolling for randome pickled products. I would say, since I have gotten this book, pickled product appearances in my game have increased by 200%

D20 modern, because this is the one class based system where you can come up with a concept first and still find a way to express that in stats without a lot of extraneous abilities that are counter to the concept.

Now if only they had done similar with the advanced and prestige classes...

RPG book
Any

I'd go with... Drow of the Underdark 2e. It's still a minefield of info if you want to convert it, OR just use the non system specific stuff. It has names, houses, house items, guards, how Drows live, etc.

I'd have to say Next Age Heroes, but that's primarily because it's my baby and I'm all sorts of partial!

It's not terribly original, but the Draconomicon. Like others have said, it's great for working dragons of all types and challenges throughout a campaign.
