Linear Technology "Linear Applications Handbook".  There are three 
volumes.  Really good if you want to work with switching power supplies.

I am told that these are extremely hard to come by.  I ordered one from 
Linear and was contacted by their distributor saying something like 
"you'll be lucky".  Everyone wants them and they are as rare as 
rocking-horse poo (supposedly.)  The distributor told me that the books 
were wonderful and wished me luck.  However, about three months after my 
request, they turned up, all three volumes.  Great stuff.
