Hmmm.

WE:MMS print ed. - revolutionised the way I think about the game world. Then we went to an elven kingdom, so I had to start again, thinking about elven systems of government. Sigh.
Fiend Folio - I've probably used as many monsters from this as I have from the Monster Manual.
Draconomicon - It's just a great read!
