Three of my favorites are exhibit catalogs that i won in a bidding auction at a library. These are probably my favorite books to own.
I read A LOT when i was younger. And it was almost always books i checked out at my school library or the local public library. So i never actually owned those books which is good thing because they a just too heavy to cart around. It would be nice to own a huge home with book shelves all over :)
After going back to college in my thirties and majoring in art/drawing and painting i started playing in a band again and realized i didn't really know anything about guitars and there were huge areas of music that i had only a little exposure to so i bought every guitar and amp book i could find. Before the mid nineties there was nearly zero information available unless you knew the guy that knew the guy who was friends with the guy ...
So that might lead us in a roundabout way to this gem
The 14 pound heavy weight champion of the world VOX amplifier book
AND the companion schematics book
In a box/slipcover thingee that looks just like an early 60's AC-30 amplifier in it's own cover and i'm really starting to lose it here. maybe i just might make it through to the end of the post ;)

Here's a couple of shots my 64 AC-30 with it's beat up cover.
I wanted one of these for a very long time.
how this library post turned into this i have no idea and right about now i have no idea how to tag this ???
