Moby-Dick by Herman Melville. First edition trade paperback by The University of California Press, based on the 1979 Arion Press edition. Cover illustration by Barry Moser. I have too many copies of Moby-Dick.
Call Me Ishmael by Charles Olson. 1971 trade paperback by City Lights Books. No designer credited. Call Me Ishmael is a perfect book.
Selected Tales and Poems of Herman Melville (Richard Chase, editor). 1950 Rinehart Editions trade paperback by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. I’m a big fan of these midcentury Rinehart Editions paperbacks—they have an odd signature look to them.
Biblioklept 
Speaking of copies of Moby-Dick, I have the second Norton critical edition, and I have yet to read it soon (perhaps alongside The Scarlet Letter).
