The Classic XXX Revisited line.
XXX being monsters, dragons, dungeon denizens, and I'm sure the upcoming horrors. Not related in any way to any attempted remake of Debbie Does Dallas.
I love those books and reread them fairly regularly! I also have the Dragon ecologies book, which also gets reread for prettty much the same reason. Knowing how monsters fit inside the world lets me do more with them than put them in a room to wait for the pc's to kick the door in.
Great Beyond was cool as well. And Book of the Damned. But planar goodness doesn't work it's way into a campaign until higher levels. The monsters will always be there.

I'm not qualified to answer, since I only have three of them. (I plan to get one more, the Guide to Darkmoon Vale, so I'm glad to see people rave about it on this thread.)
But despite my lack of qualification, I still feel compelled to say this: You gotta have the Gazetteer! That's what got me hooked on Golarion. I gawked at that book for weeks, reading and re-reading some of those nation entries.
