My wife and I have a Larousse Gastronomique on the bookshelf in the dining room. A Classical encyclopedia and Hoyle's Rules of Games in the parlor. Dictionaries for translating Latin, Greek, French, German, and Spanish kicking around somewhere. A set of atlases, the old two-volume microprint of the Oxford English Dictionary, and a battered, spine-cracked copy of Roget's Thesaurus—together with Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, Granger's Index to Poetry, and Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible.
