A large hardcover copy of The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.
A falling apart copy of Odhams Dictionary of the English Language Illustrated. I can't tell you the year of publication, that's one of the pages that's gone missing. This is the dictionary my father used to do crossword puzzles, and it's the dictionary that us kids pestered him to be able to use (which probably explains its poor condition). So many words across such thin pages, and so many little sections of fascinating details at the front and back.
A signed copy of Full Circle by Michael Palin.
Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, a fabulous feast that can be as shallow or deep as your mood when you pick it up.
My collection of Stephen Donaldson books - I only wish I had the first ones in hardcover too.
There are many more I could list, but these come somewhere near the top.
