Thanks man. Finally got a good paying job and finally got enough money set aside for this semester's tuition. (Starting freshman year of college in 2 weeks). Basically all my money goes to school, the govt, the govt (in form of speeding tickets) my car, my comp, this game, and my reference library.
Congrats on the money! I'm actually starting my Freshman college year too, in 2 weeks.
I have a bunch of POS quick reference books, generic aircraft and tank encyclopedias for when I am looking for very generic information quickly, i.e. a general service history, manufacturer, etc.
If you want to get into a little more detail, I am still rather fond of encyclopedia style works. If you have a specific aircraft in mind, develop a library just for that bird. For example, my favorite aircraft is always the B-17. I picked up a copy of FlyPast's B-17 Flying Fortress for the pretty pictures and fun facts, I have a copy of Fly Fortress by Edward Jablonski courtesy of Guppy, and several other aircraft specific books. Then, to kind of loop it all together, unit histories from Osprey are generally recomended. When I decided to form my own squad here in AH, I knew I wanted a bomber unit, and settled on the 303BG (H). The first thing I did was run out and buy a copy of Ospreys '303rd Bombardment Group (H)'.
My question to you: Where do you plan on storing all these books? I know I had to put everything I owned into storage before I moved up here for school.
