My desk at work on the left-hand side of the computer screen. The Collins Cobuild is a much battered, 20-year-old, daily-used dictionary (highly recommended: they say it helps learners with real English); just below is a book on the AWK programming language (highly recommended when you use Unix or Linux). Farther in the background are the two volumes of a newly reprinted encyclopedia of Solid Earth geophysics; below them is a 35-year-old copy of the Times Atlas of the World (Comprehensive Edition) which I brought from home a couple of years ago when I got a free copy of the penultimate edition from The Folio Society for having bought two Dickens books in the summer sale. The elephant clock has not been changed to Standard Time last October and will probably continue running one hour ahead till next March.
