Reference materials

In the internet age, trips to Google and Wikipedia provide easy answers to easy questions. The Millions polled its contributors to find out their favorite offline reference books. The OED scores highly and The National Geographic Atlas of the World (my dad had one of these when I was a kid and I loved looking at it) and the Truckers Atlas for Professional Drivers also get mentions.
