Massive, comprehensive Old Testament history
Not that I have read all that many of them, but I consider this the best history of ancient Israel ever. Readable, factual, and enormously scholarly, It is one of those books (actually 2 of those books - it was originally a 2 volume set) I read in my college years and searched for patiently for years, trying to find an second-hand copy. Abbot Ricciotti seems to know everything there is to know about the ancient Israelis - the archealogy, languages, history, literature, etc. I was really happy to find out that Roman Catholic Books has reprinted this one, in a single rather massive volume for about $60. And the reprint quality is actually quite good, unlike many reprints.
