I was seriously low on money back when I spent what felt like a fortune on it, but I never regretted a single Euro I paid for this one. I greatly appreciate how well-made and outright beautiful the FR books' design was back in the 3E day. I also like some corner cases among the WotC 3E line a ton: Fiend Folio is probably my most leafed-through monster book. Lords of Madness is just extremely well done (although I really missed a section on Deepspawn) and a fun read. Tome of Magic contains my favorite alternate magic system (binding), and I also love a lot of the ideas concerning Shadowcasters (which I find weak for full casters, but still balanced in a tier 3-4 party). Tome of Battle I only like for the ideas, not the execution, of most of its stuff, but it's still a great book. Magic of Faerûn, although strictly 3.0, is probably my favorite setting-specific book aside from the FRCS - it just contains so much information useful to DMs, as well as providing a lot of spells that are considered classic (although most have been much changed in the 3.5 update prints).</blockquote>
