An advanced book: Tristan Hubsch's Calabi-Yau Manifolds: a Bestiary for Physicists

If you have ever wanted an explicit answer to the question, "What, exactly, is a Calabi-Yau manifold?", this is the book you are looking for. Clear, far-ranging and full of brilliant insight, it is also a stylisitic masterpiece, which is rare among math and physics books.
