Most 1e hardcovers fall into that category.Adventures are always good. They're often easy to convert. Setting books are also useful... for that setting. But you can always read them for stealable locations and NPCs for homebrew worlds and adventures.Either the 1e or 3e Manual of the Planes would be good. There's a lot of fun descriptions in those. Deities and Demigods is less useful, but still interesting.Monster books can provide a lot of inspiration, especially the ones focusing on a single creature (Open Grave or Draconomicon).2nd Edition released a lot of interesting softcover books. There were some Historical Resources series that might be an interesting read and some other DM resources. Heck, pretty much anything aimed at DMs is probably a pretty good purchase.</blockquote>
