If we get to throw in stuff we worked on, I have to say Goods and Gear: the Ultimate Adventurer's Guide. I put a lotta hard work into that baby, even though a couple sidebars did get glitched at the printers.

Though Im not sure how many people talk about it, I would say...
Skull and Bones, the Green Ronin swashbook. The flavor is inspiring, fresh and fun to read. Its like a core set for swash lovers... with a dark twist.

Doing the best imitation of myself
Let me second this. I like this book so much I am approaching serious fanboy status! If you are looking for a way to combine a 3E game with D20 Modern and cross over characters from magical and mundane worlds, this is the book for you.Krieg said:
But wait, there's more...there is a serious discussion about rules changes to make a game more or less heroic, and to raise or lower the level of magic. Oh, and there's also an influence system that lets high level characters have, well, influence in the campaign.
PS
If Steve happens to read this, and were to update the book to 3.5, I'd pick it up (either print or PDF) in an instant!

Dynasties & Demagogues by Atlas Games- this is an incredible resource for political games, and something often overlooked in D&D.
Crime & Punisment by Atlas Games- what Dynasties and Demagogues is for politics, Crime & Punishment is for law, law enforcement, and legal codes (both secular and religious).
Codex Arcanis by Paradigm Concepts- THE coolest and best written D&D setting out there, its more Romanesque than medieval, and is very well thought out and has room for lots of moral grey areas. The whole Arcanis line is incredible, especially the Player's Guide and Seethragore (the best representation of lizardfolk and yaun-ti I've seen).
The Foul Locales series by Mystic Eye Games is great too- I've gotten tons of use out of their adventure vignettes, and they are suitably dark and fairy-tale like for my tastes.

Swashbuckling Arcana from AEG's Swashbuckeling Adventures.
The book introduces several variant Sorcerer classes with interesting themes; Fate, Entropy, Teleportation, Rune Stones, Inventors and even channeling great heroes.
If you want a memorable sorcerer to go against the PCs, this book has it.

Privateer Press' Monsternomicon. Whether or not you play in the Iron Kingdoms, the art is great and the monsters are really neat, inspiring a lot of ideas.

i read a copy while at my FLGS. i spent a couple hours reading it actually. which for me is saying a lot.
so i bought a copy. it is still in the shrinkwrap in my d02 dust collection. but i left it shrinkwrapped cuz i didn't want to expose it to the elements like the rest of the refuge.
