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.

Lovely! I got a nice hardcover edition of Wind in the Willows that I gave to my brother and sis-in-law for my nephew.
I'd like to read the Palin book. I loved watching his travel shows.
