Post a pic of your prettiest book.
Mine is LotR in finnish, printed 1985. It's falling apart and has coffee and blood stains all over it but I still love it.

Not the prettiest but I particularly like this edition of Jean Cocteau's diaries from his Beauty and the Beast, it's very simple but the color and font are pleasant to me.

The only thing keeping me back from buying this bible is the ridiculous cover and gilded edges and the fact that it's made in China. Otherwise it is probably the best bible I've seen. Thick paper, great illustration, big font, sufficient spacing, almost everything is there at an affordable price.
