Recommend 1-3 paperback books to buy with a 1000rs budget.

If you had to recommend 1 to 3 high quality paperback books to buy with a combined total of under 1000rs, what would they be? Any genre- fiction, non fiction , academic is fine as long as they've held some personal significance for you. The only limitation is that they shouldn't be from cheap publication houses like fingerprint, om etc. Penguin, harper collins, oxford, wordsworth, routledge etc preffered.
