First of all you need three standard items.

4. Savage Species
5. Epic Level Handbook
6. Monster Manual II
7. Psionics Handbook
8. Manual of the Planes
9. Deities and Demigods
Info on all of these can be found here. and even more books here. . Though personally the second link is not all that important.

1. Races of Faerûn
