What types of books do you like? What are you looking for?

If you want class oriented books I suggest Path of Sword, Path of Magic, Quint Rogue, Quint Wizard, and Quint Monk.

If you want a monster book filled with monsters then Tome of Horrors. If you want a well defined monster base then get Monsternomicon.

If you want a book of goods will well defined churches and legends get Book of the Rightious.
 

HA!

I think:

I've got twelve-sided die
I've got Kitty Pride
And Nightcrawler too!

okay

Get the Forgotten Realsms Campaign Setting. Even if you aren't going to play in the FR it is just chock-full of goodness. New spells, feats, prestige classes and lots and lots of ideas to steal for ANY setting. Plus, it is, in my opinon, the best book WoTC has published period.
 

Assuming your a DM:

First priority: Gods - I'd suggest Book of the Righteous. Nothing helps flesh out a campaign like understanding the inhabitants theology. This book is just superb. Do yourself a favor and read the ENWorld reviews... You CAN use this book to enhance the Greyhawk Gods if you are playing there...

You also seem to be light on adventures. I love Dungeon Magazine - I never use an adventure from the mag whole cloth, but its a great idea resource.

If you want books of spells, try Magic of Faerun, and the three Books of Eldritch Might from Malhavoc Press.

If you want books of monsters, Monsternomicon and Liber Bestarius give high quality.

If you want campaign settings that can give you easily-pluckable ideas, go with Forgotten Realms CS, Kalamar (esp. the Player's Guide), Oriental Adventures, or Call of Cthulhu.

Good class/race books include Heroes of High Favor: Dwarves, HoHF: Half-Orcs (n.b.: I helped playtest both books), Forgotten Heroes - Paladins (pdf only), Joe's Book of Enchantments (pdf only), Ink & Quill (free pdf from Bastion Press), Psionics Handbook, and Experts by Skirmisher Press.

That's the recommendations I'd make from my collection.
