What is your favorite knitting stitch pattern book?

I don't mean patterns for sweaters or scarves and such, but stitch-patterns. I have had several over the years and currently mine is Field Guide to Knitting by Jackie Powlowski. What's yours?

I have been knitting for a very long time, so most "common" stitches are easy to me. But I have three that are a great source of inspiration to me:
- Lace from the Attic, A Victorian Notebook of Knitted Lace Patterns, by Nancie Wiseman is a great source of lace patterns, some old fashioned, some intriguing, most appealing to me when I want to get into a really "challenging" project.
- Another lace book: Heirloom Knitting, A Shetland Lace Knitter's Pattern and Workbook, by Sharon Miller, with even more lace patterns plus some projects.
- The Harmony Guide to Aran and Fair Isle Knitting: Patterns, Techniques, and Stitches, by Debra Mountford is to me a constant source of inspiration for new patterns. You can figure out what combination of patterns to use on a sweater depending on the number of stitches and learn to make your own graph.
I also have a few other books for stitches that were very useful over the years, but these are the three I use most a this point.
