My ratty 1940's-60's pulp novels from yard sales and second-hand bookstores. I do have epubs of many of them, but I can't give up those lurid, coffee-stained covers.
My father's copy of Studs Terkel's 'Hard Times'. My mother's second-best copy of 'The Hobbit' (she still has her Best one, of course.)
My 1934 edition of Robert Graves' 'I, Claudius' - Ancient Roman treachery and machinations is my comfort reading. Don't judge me :]
And my 50 year old Shop Manuals for my beloved Car - all sorts of interesting (and profane) notations added over the years by all the other Impala repairers that used them before me.
