Shadowbeat
Corporate Download If adventures count, Harlequin's Back. Otherwise a toughie—Renraku Arcology: Shutdown, maybe? ~J |

MITS, Threats (1 and 2, if you'll allow it), and Matrix.
MiTS and Matrix purely for the rules expansions, and Threats for the ideas. |

MITS M&M While most others get used at least once every campaign, the above 3 get flipped through almost every game. |

Not got them all, and not sure about a top 3, but corporate download is fantastic.

Cannon Companion
Magic in the Shadows Man & Machine After that comes Rigger 3 It's been my experience that unless you are completely sans R3 nobody even looks at the vehicles listed in the BBB. |

You want best reed or most usfull.
I don’t know about best reed (haven’t red engulf) but the most useful are defiantly M&M CC MITS R3 In that order |

Probably because almost all of them were redone in Rigger 3. That said, the three I use most with SR3 is Magic in the Shadows, Man & Machine, and Cannon Companion. My top three favorite books are Shadowbeat, Sprawl Survival Guide, and Corporate Download. |

My top three favorite books (with the caveat that, not having sat down to play outside of a MUSH in forever, I mostly just read them):
Aztlan - absolutely one of the best-*written* books in SR. Corporate Shadowfiles - Admittedly, not particularly game-useful, but...I'm sorry, I still shiver reading the description of Corporate War. :eek: Also, it's real-world-transferrable, the first and thusfar only time Ive ever been able to say that about my gaming. Renraku Arcology: Shutdown - Deus isn't entirely my cup of tea. However, I loved how it was written. I remember closing my eyes one night after reading it and feeling vaguely panicked. |

Well, if we're counting of all time.
Portfolio of a Dragon Really. What can I say? I laughed. I cried. I loved it. Universal Brotherhood Pushing the envelope a little, aye, but unarguably the best bug-book ever produced. Tir Tairngire Say what you will about Aztlan. Speak your mind freely on such awesome placesettings as the Denver Boxed Set. Argue if you want over such awesome tech books as Shadowtech versus the Cannon Companion. This is my favorite piece of Nigel D. Findley's work. Old-school style, nothing ever outright, and art you can sit back and stare at. |

Ooh, Denver.
Suddenly my choice for #3 is looking a lot more muddled… ~J |

#1: Harlequin. IMO, the best campaign ever developed for any game system, ever.
#2: Neo-Anarchist's Guide to Real Life. One of my personal favorites, which taught me more about the Shadowrun world than anything else. #3's a tossup, but I'll go with a tie for two books not yet mentioned: Shadowtech and Corporate Shadowfiles. Shadowtech beats M&M hands-down in writing quality and presentation, and Corporate Shadowfiles turned out to be more useful than my economics textbook. 8) |

Matrix
Target: Wastelands (there's more adventure possiblities and paranoid ramblings in that book than you could shake a sandworm at) Renraku Arcology: Shutdown (nothing like a good horror/survival story) |

My choices:
MiTS - Great rules, great flavor! Sprawl Survival Guide - A new classic; gritty, street level, and great rules for Lifestyles. Corporate Download - Great for plotting out what kinds of runs to have. |
