adobe garamond, it's sophisticated, easy to read and the letterforms are just beautiful :)

Hard to decide... I guess my favorites are:
• Bembo
• Sabon
• Plantin
cheerio Queneau

If i had to decide this today – Lexicon (http://www.teff.nl/)
Tomorrow maybe Sabon, Stempel Garamond, Arnhem, Dolly, etc.

I've finally saved up enough to buy it;-) Pheww
